  • Updates
    • Continued improvements to RCFilters.
      • More front-end patches have been merged, e.g. handling for conflicting and interacting filters, AJAX support so results update immediately.
      • Back-end patch is up for review. This sends structured filter information to the client, and changes how RecentChanges and Watchlist filters are registered. It's still a WIP, but you might want to take a look if your extension uses or might use such filters: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/337546/
