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**.
The other actions (edit, add, administer, copy, rename, delete, export, share etc.) don't have a state. It's the difference between a toggle button and a standard button. The toggle button needs to show you the current state. The user needs to know if the current page is being watched. At first you scan the page for visual clues. There's none. You eventually click on the More Actions menu and see the "Watch..." entry. […]
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 -Vincent
Note: the jira issue is http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12485.

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.

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: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/WatchListButtonsonXE73
WDYT?
