만료일 순으로 Special:EditWatchlist를 주문하세요 (Community Wishlist/W454/ko)
Long-term opportunity
Description
최근까지 Special:EditWatchlist는 다음과 같이 주문되었습니다:
- 만료일이 설정된 관심 목록 항목의 경우, 만료일 기준(오름차순)으로 먼저 정렬
- 페이지 제목 기준으로 두 번째 정렬
만료일 기준 정렬 기능을 제거했습니다. 해당 기능을 실행하는 데이터베이스 쿼리가 약 100배 느리기 때문입니다. 느린 데이터베이스 쿼리는 데이터베이스 연결을 과부하 상태로 만들어 로그인한 모든 사용자의 위키 속도를 저하시키므로, 이러한 쿼리를 최소화하기 위해 최선을 다하고 있습니다.
커뮤니티 회원들로부터 만료일 기준 정렬 기능이 일부 워크플로에 중요하다는 피드백을 받았습니다. 기존 방식대로 만료일 기준 정렬 기능을 다시 활성화하는 것은 쿼리 속도가 너무 느려서 불가능하지만, 다른 대안을 모색해 볼 수 있을 것 같습니다 (관련 데이터베이스 테이블에 인덱스를 추가하는 방식이 될 수 있습니다).
이 요청 사항을 추가하여 이 기능이 얼마나 중요한지 알아보고자 합니다. Special:EditWatchlist에서 만료일순 정렬 기능이 중요하다면 이 요청을 지지해 주세요!

Support May I assume that sorting a watchlist of 10 entries causes a much lower slowdown than sorting a watchlist of 10.000? If yes, would it be an option to define a "critical" value and not sort watch lists that are beyond that value? Like, if I watch 10 articles I get my old sorted list, but if I watch 10.000 I get it unsorted. Kind regards, Grueslayer (talk) 15:27, 30 October 2025
Support This was a radical change that upended my ability to see and work with "expiring soon" watches. I understand the performance issue, but at the very least, we need _a way_ to sort them the way we had it before, even if it's just a post-load "Sort" script we can click to run.

Support I used the ordered edit watchlist to manage my work more than using the watchlist as a watchlist. If the database query is slow fine, just add a client side script (option) to order it. If we had multiple watchlists for different purposes that probably would work. But finding things I need to look at today and in the next few days is now horrendous.

Support I prefer the expiry-sorted list. It was helpful to identify articles that accidentally got perma-wishlisted due to using some tools (and thus remove them). Also used the sorted list to identify topics which I wanted to extend watchlisting. A few topics were purposefully perma-watchlisted and I would occasionally quit an entire category of a topic and unwatchlist those. Sorting the watchlist alphabetically has zero value for me.

Support I have relied for years on an expiry-sorted list and I never had any problem with a timeout. I get that some people have that problem, but many people don't. (I suspect that with some people its their phone or computer that is at fault for the problem and not the list.) Could we reach a compromise by letting people choose their own list, like how we let people choose their vector? Grey ghost (talk) 20:50, 1 November 2025
Support Edit and searching became more difficult, but because the visible list is limited to 500 items. Georg Hügler (talk) 05:16, 8 November 2025
Support Would it be possible to enable the possibility to use wrprop=expiry in the list=watchlistraw query? Like this: https://xx.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&list=watchlistraw&formatversion=2&wrprop=expiry If so, a watchlist sorted by expiry date could be implemented with the help of a user script in the client thereby moving the load for sorting very long watchlists from the server to the clients (computers) of the users that would like to see the watchlist sorted by expiry by expiry, Larske (talk) 23:59, 10 November 2025

Support I used sorting by expiry very heavily to manage my workflow. The change was not just cosmetic, but actually removed functionality I relied on regularly. The change in the default sort order shredded my previous workflow after it was implemented. I would very much appreciate the implementation of alternative solution which allows me to view my list of watchlist items sorted by expiry. Scyrme (talk) 17:46, 3 February 2026
