I am just generally curious as to what people put on theirs. Mine has all the articles I launched and a few It Just Bugs and WM Gs for things I know a fair bit about.

In the beginning there was nothing, and it exploded. Terry Pratchett 35 tropes so far.

Mine is pretty much all articles that I launched.

Indices related to my interest (so I don't miss any new pages that I'd want to read) and some pages and subpages for works I'm especially fond of.

A couple of work pages I've launched recently (to see if they gather any interest) and a fanfic recs page I've launched (and keep vigil over).

Mine's a couple tropes that I launched, a couple pages that were renamed and cleaned up, and a couple work pages that I curate. There would be more, but I don't want reviews for popular works on my watchlist.

Ask The Tropers, and a few pages that had someone either vandalizing them or removing good examples for a while, so I could see it. Mostly only ATT.

Mostly pages I've cleaned up to make sure they stay that way, but there's a few pages I launched so I can watch them grow.

The pages that I created, a few works pages that I like and want easy access to and Ask The Tropers. So not too much then.

The ones I launched and a few that I police (Great Big Sea, Tom Holt, Video Game Tropes, Judaism).

  • Anything I launched
  • Anything I've made major edits to, that I want to watch for reversion
  • Anything I'm a Wiki Curator of, for obvious reasons
  • A number of media which I particularly like, because I'm either paying attention to their development without going as far as curating, or because I read the page fairly regularly

If a watched trope has been updated since the last time you checked your Watchlist page, it will be moved to the top and have a red dot to the left of the updated page. Stuff that hasn't been updated since the last time you looked at your watchlist has a gray dot beside it.

Note that the dot goes gray even if you don't actually go to the page or check the history link for it. It's keyed off of your accessing the watchlist page, not the watched pages. If you've a lot of updated tropes to check, use of browser tabs or new windows launched from the watchlist page is recommended, unless you like hitting the "last page" arrow a lot. tongue

As for my WL contents, stuff I'm curating, major edits, and items of interest even if I'm not doing much editing for them (the last to simply keep track of pages I find useful). With discussion pages and such, right now I'm up to 93 watched items.

It's worth noting that going anywhere else on the site - the forums, trope pages, YKTTW, etc, does not mark all watch list dots as grey. This is in contrast to Wikipedia, which will no longer bold your watchlist as soon as you visit a second page on the site, unless the second page is the watchlist.
