Features

WatchList improves on standard MediaWiki watchlist functionality and adapts it to the BlueSpice environment.

Usage / features

The watchlist can be viewed in:

• UserSidebar (keyword WATCHLIST) shows entries from a user's own watchlist.
• Page content (tag-based, added by user). Example: <bs:watchlist count="10" maxtitlelength="50"/>
• Discussion pages are implicitly watched by MW. These implicit entries do not appear in the list. But a discussion page can be added explicitly.
• Long titles are truncated.
