Enhanced watchlist needs a "view changes since my last visit" button.
Change 75579 had a related patch set uploaded by Matmarex: Enhanced RC: Add a "view changes since my last visit" link https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/75579
Created attachment 13163 [details] Mockup by MatmaRex Why can't the button be in the collapsed part of the bullet? Maybe that's the best position but I'm wondering what rationale to follow to add or remove stuff from the uncollapsible part. Would something like "4 (1) changes" or "3+1 changes" or whatever, with the 1 bolded as unvisited revisions are in watchlist, make sense?

Because that would defeat the point. This button is needed exactly so that users don't have to expand the bullet for every page on their watchlist every time they visit it. > Would something like "4 (1) changes" or "3+1 changes" or whatever, with the 1 > bolded as unvisited revisions are in watchlist, make sense? I considered a few variants, including something like this. It has two main drawbacks: the link would be too small to click comfortably, and there is no information as to what the second number means (I don't think bolding would be obvious enough). The form I chose ("N changes | N since last visit") seems to be a sane compromise between this and explicit longer "N changes | N changes since your last visit".
