Gave the new watchlist a go for a few days, couldn't use it, got rid of it. Sorry guys, it's terrible - the old system wasn't broken, so don't fix it. ~~~~
Topic on Talk:Edit Review Improvements/New filters for edit review
There's "Hide the improved version of the Watchlist" in your preferences (in Watchlist section). But better than just opting out would be to tell us what is actually wrong. We do not only fix broken things, but also develop new things, having new functions, allowing more things, to make editing and patrolling and everything else more easy. It is kinda hard to do when we do not know what we should do. Please write something we can learn from, not only "please do not deploy this" or "revert the deployment". Thanks.
I understand what you're saying, but it was just so unusable I switched it off. I can't now remember the detail, but the whole thing was confusing and took up unnecessary screen space. Sorry, but the old watchlist is fine - the best thing you can learn from this is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Sorry you had a bad experience. Fortunately, you have that option to get the old watchlist back.
Also don't forget ont thing: it may not be broken for you but it may be broken for others. That's the case for new users, who have a complicated experience using that old watchlist. That's also the case for some advanced features, that needed a new presentation to work well.
When I accepted the update, I discovered that I no longer had a watchlist. I've got over 100 articles watchlisted, but they all seem to have gone away. I need to restore the old system.
Off topic, but I also have been getting Wikipedia articles with no header. I can't log in, can't see the page in previous format (i.e., with file images, and better formed descriptions of the articles by sections), etc. Anyone know what's up?
@Activist, have you activated some gadgets and scripts on your account? Is your browser up-to-date?
I use two browsers. Both are up-to-date. I think Twinkle is the only activation. Thanks for your reply. ~~~~
@Activist, if you haven't roll-backed the new filters, do you have access to your watchlist when clicking on that link? Do you have access to RecentChanges?
You can any time turn off the filters and get the new interface back. Go to the "Hide the improved version of the Watchlist" option in your Watchlist preferences.
Cnbrb, did you even give it a good try to learn how to use it? Because I think it is great.
