Discussion[edit]
- @ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2:. What do you mean by "included pages"? -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 19:20, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- @NKohli (WMF): See "MediaWiki:Centralnotice-templates-included".Thank you --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 19:24, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- I still don't understand. You want to watch transcluded pages/templates? -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 19:26, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- @NKohli (WMF): I mean pages whose names are between {{}} --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 19:43, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- Those are templates and not pages. Why would you want to watch templates? They don't change frequently and are mostly code. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 19:54, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- @NKohli (WMF): The target is the nomination pages which voters are interested in following --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 20:37, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- You will watch thousands of transcluded pages. IKhitron (talk) 11:59, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
- I suppose the idea is that someone could use the proposed option on 2017 Community Wishlist Survey/Watchlists and they'd automagically see all changes to every idea-subpage transcluded on that page, rather than having to manually watchlist each idea-subpage. The proposal as written is referring to pages like w:en:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship where something similar is done. Anomie (talk) 16:49, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

The survey has a limit of three proposals per person; archiving this one at the proposer's request. -- DannyH (WMF) (talk) 21:40, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
