* '''The ability to set a default time watch period in preferences:''' We have discussed this idea as a team. At this stage, we're not considering it an absolute "must have" for the feature, but it's something we may consider once we have built out core functionality. If and when we do consider the ability to set default watch periods based on user preference, we'll reach out to you all to share some ideas on how this may be done. |

* '''Differentiation between permanently and temporarily watched pages on Special:EditWatchlist:''' Thanks for bringing this up! This something we would like to implement, although we're still in planning stages and cannot make any guarantees. However, with that being said, we're almost ready to share some mockups on how this may look. I'll ping everyone when they're up & ready for feedback. --[[User:IFried (WMF)|IFried (WMF)]] ([[User talk:IFried (WMF)|talk]]) 20:29, 18 March 2020 (UTC) |

*:I am not sure why some people have issue with "indefinitely", the action/inaction does indeed means ''indefinite'' in the sense that end date is not being specified. But if we are not going to use it, then "permanently" cannot be used either for the same reasons. In fact the latter is more strong and may implies that action cannot be [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/permanent easily undone]. But "indefinitely" just means, for whatever reason, you're not selecting [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/indefinitely expiry time/limit]. If it must be changed then you can consider using parenthetical description for instance <code>(No expiry)</code> – [[User:Ammarpad|Ammarpad]] ([[User talk:Ammarpad|talk]]) 16:14, 19 March 2020 (UTC) |
