This is a request for a "recently-viewed pages" feature, with weighting by the number of visits, yes? That would be nice. Johnbod (talk) 19:31, 20 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It can be collapsed, when not used.--BoldLuis (talk) 18:13, 11 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support This would make anti-vandalism patrol a lot easier as well by reducing the number of tabs we need to manage. ThadeusOfNazereth (talk) 19:32, 8 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support ...Or if that page appears in your watchlist. I definitely support that feature. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 20:15, 8 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment I would support this if were based on watchlist rather than page viewing history. Otherwise, we'll end up needing a whole new interface for editing and purging our page viewing history. (Imagine you're about to give a Wikipedia presentation to 1000 people at Wikimania and you recently had to revert vandalism at erotic asphyxiation.)

Oppose it seems practical at first, but that could get really irritating if I only want to check something out a few times and it gets in my way when I'm looking to go somewhere else. Tyrekecorrea (talk) 18:46, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose I do not believe we should be tracking user behaviour in this much detail, for privacy and data rights reasons. I don't quite know what information the WMF currently gleans from us but I would discourage them storing more data without good reason. Kaldari points out one unintended consequence, but I argue that a much more common one would be that of a parent going on a shared family computer and learning via this mechanism that their child is gay or trans or anything else that a person's reading history tells us about them that they wouldn't expect another person using the same device to discover by accident. — Bilorv (talk) 23:58, 13 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose, per Bilorv and Tyrekecorrea, and because this is redundant with browser bookmarking, and with just creating a user-spaced favorites list. — SMcCandlish ☺☏¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 08:14, 15 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
