Thanks Vincent.
I just want to quote Marius about the fact it's a pain to click on some
menus to see the state of the watchlist:
Watching a page is not like the rest of the actions. It has a **state**.

As I said I’m not against notification icons. I even think we need them (I can think of
Warning icons of admins when the rendering of a page contains errors for example too).
But I definitely don’t agree about crowding the UI to add specific watch/unwatch action
buttons. They should go in the menu actions.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks Guillaume.
I really don’t like either 1 or 2 because they take more vertical space
(for 1) and they make the UI too crowded.
I also don’t think we should have any action button directly in the UI to
watch/unwatch. This should be an action in the menus as any other action.
OTOH we should have notification icons in the top bar so signify if a page
is being watched for example.
Thanks

Hi.
The other thread about the content menus re-organization has deviated to
talk about the watchlist, so I prefer to continue the discussion on this
new thread.
I have made some mock-ups that you can see there:

WDYT?
Thanks,
