Topic on Talk:Edit Review Improvements/New filters for edit review

A patch has been created to reduce loading time: T176250 - Deployment soon.

To reduce the loading time to get most recent changes on RecentChanges, click on "View newest changes" (or equivalent wording) link instead of reloading the whole page:

As long as it's loading time is so long it should stay in beta.

I call everyone who's suffering and deleted the feature to join the call till the problem is fixed.

@Sargoth; @Stryn; @Samwalton9; @DVdm; @Ahecht ;

I'm pretty sure it is still in beta. That's where I turned it off anyway.

Yes, I think I turned it on in beta weeeks or even months ago, and have forgotten about it. Sorry for any misunderstanding. I hope my rant was useful as beta-tester :) thanks cheers

The New Filters for Edit Review beta was extended to Watchlist today. At the same time, on Recent Changes, the New Filters UX became standard (graduated out of beta). You can opt out of the Watchlist features easily enough, on the Preferences, Beta page. Recent Changes is a different matter.

The long load times you are describing don't sound right. Are you seeing long load times on Watchlist or Recent Changes? And on which wikis? Please add any details you can that will help us diagnose.

Clarification: the new filters UI only became standard on the recent changes page on the French, Hebrew and Catalan Wikipedias today, nowhere else yet.

User:JMatazzoni, on recent changes in hebrew wikipedia, using chrome with a laptop. I opted out in the meantime, but there is no reason others should be forced into a slow upgrade.

Watchlist, 2.467 beobachtete Seiten. Not that much (compared to others), i clean this up from time 2 time

Thanks for these reports. The team is prioritizing a number of tasks that should speed things up:

• T173533: No longer block user from clicking results when page is loading..

• T166908: ChangesListSpecialPage backend: Respect saved query if no parameters

• T176250: Slowdown due to new filters

Please keep an eye on these and let us know if they help.

Here's a tip that can help reduce load times on Recent Changes: You don't need to reload the whole page every time you want to see new results. Right above the main results area, you should see a bold link for "View newest changes" (if you don't see it, there probably are no new results available yet; just wait). Clicking this will add any new changes that have occurred since the last time you loaded the page or clicked the link. It will load ONLY those new changes, and avoid a bunch of page overhead (Javascript, etc.) that also loads when you click to reload the browser. Doing this is about a third faster in my informal testing.

At the moment "View newest" is not available on Watchlist, but we are adding it (here's the task). We're also looking for a way to reload the page without all he overhead, but that will take some experimentation. And we're speeding things up in other ways, as per the tickets above.

Let me know if this tip helps.

All, how do you usually refresh the page to get the newest edits? Do you refresh the page (F5)? Have you noticed before the "View newest changes" link Joe mentions? Thanks.

sorry for the delay, due to the jewish holiday i couldn't answer till today.

I have noticed the "View newest changes", the problem was the first load opening the page (which is my main use of the RC page).

Now, after the changes done in the past few days, the loading time till links are clickable have been reduced. right now i'm working on slow wi-fi so also the basic RC load toke over 5 seconds (usualy upp to 2), so hopefully the problems have been mainly solved, thanks all.
