Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Watchlists/Show number of unseen changes in the page title

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Show number of unseen changes in the page title

  • Problem: I often have the watchlist open in a tab, but to see if there are any new changes there I have to switch to that tab.
  • Who would benefit: All logged-in users.
  • Proposed solution: Many browser based e-mail services add (n) before the title of the page, in our case "Watchlist - Wikipedia", where n is the number of unread emails. Add a similar thing to the watchlist, and some way to dismiss/reset it. On Swedish Wikipedia we had this as a user script, but it stopped working with the new watchlists recently (and even if it is fixed, this would still probably be beneficial for far more users).
