Add Watchlist Expiry time periods "3 days", "2 weeks", and "2 months" for additional flexibility (Community Wishlist/W470)
For additional flexibility in selecting expiration time periods for watches, the ultimate idea perhaps would be letting users set custom time periods.
Until something like that is implemented, let's have a stop-gap measure where we simply add "3 days", "2 weeks", and "2 months" to the list of expiry time periods.
I've been trying to tame my watchlist using expiry, but time period settings we have now aren't suiting me as far as clearing entries in a manner reasonable for my work. On regular edits of pages, I've been having the expiry set to 1 week, but for me, 3 days would be quite enough. And on page creations, I've been using 3 months, but for me, 2 months would work better.
Reasonable additional flexibility for expiry time period settings would assist well in my ongoing editing work.
