Watching pages feature allows any logged in user to keep a list of "watched" pages and to be notified of recent edits to these pages. Here are a some of the things you should know about the watch lists :
- When the user is logged in, every page has a link to the user's watchlist. This page is also accessible by following this link: Special:Watchlist.
This page shows a list of all recently changed watched pages, separated by days, ordered backward according to the time of the edit. Technically, the watchlist is just another way of filtering recent changes. - By default watchlist (simple watchlist) only shows the last edit that was made on each watched page.
There are two possible problems if a page had a non-minor recent edit, but the last edit was marked as minor:
- Non-minor edits will not be shown. Since one is typically interested in all the changes that were made since the last time, in this case the history of the page needs to be checked.
- If watchlist is set such that it does not to show minor changes, then the page will not appear in the watchlist at all.
- Many experienced users prefer to use Expanded Watchlist. If one uses the preference, Expand watchlist to show all applicable changes, the watchlist will show all recent edits, listed in chronological order. In this case the preference Enhanced recent changes (JavaScript), which toggles enhanced recent changes, also has the same effect : recent changes of watched pages are grouped by day, and within a day by page.
