From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

/*

 * Upset about your watchlist being cluttered?
 * Keep missing edits to important articles/discussions?
 * Tried the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Watchfilter|Watchfilter]] but want to see all namespaces at once?

 * Then this function is for you. It will (when placed in your monobook.js file):
 * Sort your watchlist by namespace,
 * Sort the namespaces by time of newest diff.

 *Any comments/praises/bug reports/flames go to the author, [[User:Misza13|Misza]]
