The Global Watchlist settings (here with settings that result in a somewhat usable watchlist)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Global Watchlist settings (here with settings that result in a somewhat usable watchlist). Problems include that
  • when selecting "Only non-bot edits" in the settings like is the case here, it also hides pages that were edited by a human but had a bot do the latest edit – see phab:T11790 – (e.g. people can just request CitationBot to copyedit a page to hide their vandalism) – this a very large problem also affecting the normal Wikipedia Watchlist and the bug has been open for over a decade. It should only hide the item if unseen changes include only bot edits (and otherwise if possible link to the diff of the human edits).
  • it's unclear what is expected in the input forms at the top "User defined site list" – there is no multiselect dropdown or autocomplete or help / examples, one has to figure out it expects input like "en.wikipedia.org" (not e.g. English Wikipedia or https://en.wikipedia.org/ etc) and not only newcomers but also people just looking to take a brief look into what the GW is about will know this.
