Description Stefahn 2012-10-01 18:27:17 UTC
If I click the watch/unwatch links (next to a headline) nothing happens - the text "unwatch" doesn't change to "watch".

I can only watch/unwatch a thread by navigating to the permalink of the thread and use the watch/unwatch link (star) from the user menu in the very top. This is very cumbersome...

You can test this behavior on mediawiki.org: 
Link to LiquidThreads view (watch doesn't work): http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:LiquidThreads#Bug_with_watch_and_unwatch_links_19376
Permalink (watch works by clicking the star): http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Extension_talk:LiquidThreads/Bug_with_watch_and_unwatch_links

I found out that the links from the user menu contain my watchlist token at the very end - whereas the watch links within LiquidThreads don't have any token. Maybe this is the reason?

I also found this behavior on my own wiki: MW 1.19.2 and LiquidThreads for 1.19.x (2.0-alpha).
Comment 1 Andre Klapper 2012-10-02 13:27:38 UTC
Which browser is this about / does this happen with several browsers?
Comment 2 Stefahn 2012-10-02 14:05:27 UTC
I tested it with Firefox and Chrome (latest versions each) - in both browsers watch/unwatch doesn't work.
Comment 3 Nemo 2013-02-17 19:09:28 UTC
Same on Firefox (Linux), I doubt it's a browser-related problem.
The problem is rather big but there's a workaround: [[mw:Special:EditWatchlist]] works. Hence I'm not raising priority/severity.
