Discussion[edit]
- @ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2:: This proposal is not clear. When/how are undesirable pages added to watchlist? Also, please note that you are only allowed 3 proposals in the survey. You need to withdraw the rest. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 18:55, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

- If a page on your watchlist is moved, then both the old and new title wind up on your watchlist. The complaint here seems to be that, if someone vandalizes a page by moving it to an inappropriate title, anyone who had it on their watchlist winds up with the inappropriate title on their watchlist as well.

The survey has a limit of three proposals per person; archiving this one at the proposer's request. -- DannyH (WMF) (talk) 21:39, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
