It depends on the goal of the feature * More information on an article : It could at any time provide the number of editors "watching" the page. It could be just a number at the bottom of the page, and would likely help to measure the interest there is in the article (for editors, especially since we can now easily remove items from our watchlist) This feature would be at the same level than the previous "hit counter". For those of you newer on Wikipedia (Jesus, do I sound old saying this !), the hit counter was a number displayed at the bottom of each page, and incrementing each time the page was displayed. It gave information about the global interest for the article (for editors and readers). That feature was disabled several months ago to help the struggling server. I think it was the first of a very lengthy list of features to be removed. I suppose that if we think of providing a counter for the "watch", we could also get back the hit counter, which was also very informative. The two counters would nicely complete each other. * More information on an editor : This is not a technical feature to help editing, this is a protection feature to help against vandal, or a feature to help against antagonistic editors. There should be no confusion. This will be seen as invasion of privacy. The drawbacks will be to madden quite a number of people, a reduction of liberty rights, will perhaps lead some to create false accounts to create a second watch list. I also see a possible slipery slope, where only those "trusted" will be offered that feature, further setting classes among editors. I hope people who agree with this feature, will also understand WELL what they agree for, and support it in all knowledge. Do you support a technical feature or a security feature ? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search http://shopping.yahoo.com
