Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Watchlists/Editable Page Link Notifications watchlist

Random proposal ►◄ Watchlists The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Editable Page Link Notifications watchlist

Problem: In one's preferences, under 'Notifications', one has the option of turning on or off 'Page link' notifications. This will notify one when someone links to a page they created from another page. However, this option is all or nothing. Currently one cannot change the list to remove pages they do not wish to monitor or add pages one did not create. Editors who move pages are especially affected.

Who would benefit: Most editors

Proposed solution: The list of pages that prompt notifications should be editable like the standard watchlist. Users would still be able to turn off all page link notifications as they do now as well.

Discussion

@NessieVL: Is this phab:T46787? --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 03:42, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@AKlapper (WMF): I think phab:T66090 is closer to my idea. Looks like there are a few ways to get there. phab:T70060#2166931 is also a good way. I just asssumed there is a reason link notices are divorced from the main watchlist.

Voting

Support Yes: I once created a page for a publisher and wish I hadn't done so, I get so many messages when people link to it in references. On the other hand I do want to know about people linking to most of the articles I create. PamD (talk) 23:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
