So split watchlist? How?

This here have been similar discussions over time to split/separate watchlists into smaller components […] The timeout restriction might not be changeable, so that the separation into smaller lists might be a more viable change area sounds like you're proposing enabling splitting the Watchlist into several smaller watchlists.

1. That is not clear from the title which is only about the review timeout issue
2. Where are those similar discussions – could you link them?
3. How do you propose this is solved more specifically?

I'd agree that enabling splitting the Watchlist eg via tags / categories would be very useful. For example, one could have a Watchlist for high-priority articles and the rest. That does not necessarily solve the timeout issue which you also didn't describe much – when does it occur and what does it say? Prototyperspective (talk) 10:19, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
