Beta feature: advanced filters and more options for Watchlists, starting September 5

Hello!

Sorry to write in English. Hjælp venligst med at oversætte til dit sprog!

As you may already know, the Global Collaboration team has created a Beta feature. This feature is on your wiki since few months: "⧼eri-rcfilters-beta-label⧽". You can activate it in your Beta preferences.

What is this feature again?

This feature improves Special:RecentChanges and Special:RecentChangesLinked. It adds new features that ease vandalism tracking and support of newcomers:

• Filtering - filter recent changes with easy-to-use and powerful filters combinations, including filtering by namespace or tagged edits.
• Highlighting - add a colored background to the different changes you are monitoring. It helps quick identification of changes that matter to you.
• Bookmarking to keep your favorite configurations of filters ready to be used.
• Quality and Intent Filters - those filters use ORES predictions. They identify real vandalism or good faith intent contributions that need help.

You can know more about this project by visiting the quick tour help page.

What's new?

On September 5, the Beta feature will have a new option. Watchlists will have all features available now on the Beta Recent Changes improvements.

If you have already activated the Beta feature "⧼eri-rcfilters-beta-label⧽", you have no action to take. If you haven't activated the Beta feature "⧼eri-rcfilters-beta-label⧽" and you want to try the filters on Watchlists, please go to your Beta preferences on September 6. It will not be possible to try the filters only on Recent Changes or only on Watchlist.

Please also note that later in September, some changes will happen on Recent Changes. We will release some features at the moment available in Beta as default features. This will impact all users, but we will provide an option to opt-out. I'll recontact you with a more precise schedule and all the details very soon.

You can ping me if you have questions.

All the best, Trizek (WMF) (diskussion) 24. aug 2017, 18:07 (CEST)

Looks super nice. Can't wait to use this new Beta feature. I wish that it was available now /
Ser virkeligt fedt ud. Jeg kan ikke vente med at bruge denne nye Betafunktion. Jeg ville ønske, at man kunne bruge den nu. --EeveeSylveon 28. aug 2017, 14:21 (CEST)

Thanks EeveeSylveon. Have you tried the Beta as it is, on Recent Changes page? Trizek (WMF) (diskussion) 28. aug 2017, 16:40 (CEST)

Yes @Trizek (WMF):, but sadly, I've gone back to normal, because in the latest Beta version of New filters for edit review, the Tag filter search is removed. But apart from that, it's a really good Beta-function. Best regards EeveeSylveon 28. aug 2017, 16:47 (CEST)

Thank you EeveeSylveon. Good news: tag filters are back! Trizek (WMF) (diskussion) 28. aug 2017, 19:25 (CEST)

GREAT! Thanks. Can't wait :-). Regards EeveeSylveon 28. aug 2017, 19:27 (CEST)

I don't know if I've been clear: they are active now. You can re-enable the Beta immediately. Trizek (WMF) (diskussion) 28. aug 2017, 19:37 (CEST)

Looks like it is @Trizek (WMF):! YAY! Another great feature that I want is that Recent Changes will update automatically. Then I don't have to press F5 hundred times a minute. Regards EeveeSylveon 28. aug 2017, 19:48 (CEST)

There is a secret feature for that, EeveeSylveon. Go to the RecentChanges page and append &liveupdate=1 at the end of the URL (or click here): you will see a new button... :)

This is at the moment an hidden feature, shared with a few testers (you are one of them now!). Please tell me what you think of that feature! It will be released soon to all users but we are still collecting ideas. Trizek (WMF) (diskussion) 28. aug 2017, 20:26 (CEST)

Looks very great @Trizek (WMF):. I'll return in a few days with feedback. Thank you. Very best regards EeveeSylveon 28. aug 2017, 20:52 (CEST)

@Trizek (WMF): The live update feature is almost a "Must have", as it is a very useful tool. Especially for me. BTW It's 11:03 (CET) where I am and the new Beta-feature is not available yet. Hope that it will be available within an hour. Greetings EeveeSylveon 5. sep 2017, 11:04 (CEST)

Hello EeveeSylveon! I'm happy to see you impatient to have the new features. :)

I'm on CEST timezone, but the developement team is on PST timezone. So it is 11:32 for us, but 02:32 for them. You will get the feature "today", as in "today somewhere in the world" (probably during our afternoon, European time). ;)

I'll ping you when it is ready and available! Trizek (WMF) (diskussion) 5. sep 2017, 11:33 (CEST)

Thank you. --EeveeSylveon 5. sep 2017, 11:48 (CEST)

Bad news, EeveeSylveon: the deployment is a bit delayed due to technical reasons. It will happen in the next 24 hours. Trizek (WMF) (diskussion) 5. sep 2017, 19:32 (CEST)

Ok, fine. Hope it's online when I wake up tomorrow morning. Have a nice evening @Trizek (WMF):. Greetings EeveeSylveon 5. sep 2017, 19:41 (CEST)

Very bad news, EeveeSylveon: the deployment is a delayed due to technical reasons. :/ It will happen on September 19. That's better than having bugs, right? Trizek (WMF) (diskussion) 6. sep 2017, 15:14 (CEST)

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that@Trizek (WMF):. Looks like it's some serious problems, since it is delayed 2 weeks. Good luck fixing the problems. Please ping me when released, thank you. Good luck and best regards EeveeSylveon 7. sep 2017, 09:11 (CEST)

Thank you very much, EeveeSylveon. There is not that much to fix, but we prefer to be cautious. Trizek (WMF) (diskussion) 7. sep 2017, 10:52 (CEST)
