Talk:Community Wishlist/W5

Thanks for your Wish!

Hi @Keith D - thanks for sharing your wish regarding Structured Data and the Watchlist.

So we can better understand and categorize your wish, could you share a little more context? Specifically, we'd love to see a screenshot of the issue you're encountering, and learn how solving this wish would improve the quality of content on Wikipedia Commons and/or a moderator's workflows.

If you could, please update your wish by clicking "Edit wish" with this information. JWheeler-WMF (talk) 19:30, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Phabricator ticket + questions

Hi @Keith D - I'm the product manager for the Moderator Tools team at the Wikimedia Foundation. My team is currently learning more about tasks related to Recent Changes and the Watchlist and I think this seems like a valuable proposal. I've filed T380021 to summarise what is being requested here - do you think this is an accurate description of the request?

I also had a quick question - it sounds like this is primarily an issue on Wikimedia Commons, where pages can have both structured and unstructured content, is that right? Are there any other contexts where this would be relevant? Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 10:43, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, that looks like a good summary, it also covers my other wish Community Wishlist/Wishes/Watchlist - hide structured data edits as the two are tied in together. It only applies to Commons as the other wikis do not have structured data. Keith D (talk) 12:59, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Great, thanks! I'll let you know if we pick this task up. Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 13:18, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Commons discussion

@Keith D I wanted to give you (and any page watchers) a quick heads up that I started a discussion about this wish on the Commons Village pump. Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 18:38, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

@Keith D in case you missed this last update, see above

For now we're marking this as a long-term opportunity and will update you when there's a clearer timeline MikeZ-WMF (talk) 17:39, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Clarification request

Is this just trying to determine whether the latest edit was to structured data? If so, I would imagine it is so easy as to hardly be worth evaluating whether there is a great payoff or not. However, if it comes down to "have there been any structured-data edits since I last viewed this file page, even if the latest edit is a wikitext edit" or "have there been only structured-data edits since I last viewed this file page," those are much more difficult.

When responding, please ping me, I don't maintain a watchlist on meta. - Jmabel (talk) 07:12, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

I think it's about just the latest edit (because that is often the only unseen edit). Relevant wish: W410: Watchlist should show prior unseen revision to a page when filter(s) hide the current revision (not pinging since I see you already voted on it).
