This page introduces the main elements of the recent changes and watchlists filtering system.
Introduction
Easier to access filters (list, search...) and highlighting are available on Recent Changes and Watchlist.
The
Active filter display area
is located above the search box.
On that Active filter display area are filters tags. Each tag has a label, and, at the end of it, a cross. Below that bar is the
filters search bar
When you click on the Active filter display area or the filters search bar, the
dropdown filters panel
is displayed. When you click outside of that filter list, the list disappears.
You can manage the different filters. Learn more about how to use the filters
on the filtering help page
. We have also added an
highlighting
function to differentiate the results provided by filters.
You don't need to reload the whole page to get the newest changes: click on
View new changes since $1
instead to load them.
Parts of the filtering interface
Filter search bar
Click in the filter search bar to open the
Dropdown Filter Panel
, which provides a menu of filter options. If you know the name of the filter you want to use, start typing the name; the dropdown panel will open and scroll directly to that filter.
Dropdown filter panel
The filter panel displays a list of filtering options. When you check the box next to a filter, that filter becomes active. Unlike previous RC Page filters, which were designed to exclude edits with certain properties, the new filters
include
the property the filter names (e.g., the Registered filter searches for edits by registered users).
The filters
are divided into groups
. When no filters are selected in a group, all filters in that group are active; the effect is the same if all filters in a group are checked.
To exclude edits with a particular property, leave the filter for that property unchecked and check all the other filters in its group. You’ll notice that the unchecked filters turn gray, to indicate they are inactive.
At the top of the dropdown panel is the Highlight results button. Click this button to display
the Highlight menus
See
the dedicated page
for more information about the different filters.
Active filter display area
The Active Filter Display Area is designed to give you a quick read of your current filter and highlighting settings. When a filter is active or when that edit property is highlighted, a tag with the name of that filter appears in the display area. Highlighted filters show a dot indicating the highlight color.
On page load, the Active Filter Display Area shows a set of (universal) default filters. To remove all the active filters, click the Trashcan icon at the right side of the filter display area; a
Restore default filters
icon will take the Trashcan’s place. Click that link to restore the defaults along with your preferences.
You can deactivate an individual filter by clicking the x in its tag. If you click on the body of the tag, the dropdown filter panel opens and scrolls to where that filter is in the menu.
See
the dedicated page
to have more information about how to handle the different filters.
Highlighting
Highlighting is a very powerful tool to triage some type of edits. In the Dropdown filter panel, the
Highlight results
button will allow you to choose a color for your most important filters. Changes triggering the filters will be colored accordingly to your choices.
See
the dedicated page
to have more information about that feature.
Interactive functions
You can also use the
Live updates
function to automatically update the list as new results come.
If new edits are available for the filtered results (and if you don't use the Live Updates function), a link
View new changes since $1
will appear. Click on it to load the results.
It is possible to filter by date and number of changes.
See
the dedicated page
to have more information about that feature.
Compact interface
A compact mode, hiding most of the commands, is available.
