How to see all the pages I am "Watching" on MDN web docs

Is there a single place that I can see all of the pages I am subscribed to on MDN web docs?

I am switching to using the Revision Dashboard and I want to unsubscribe from all.

I also just want to say the MDN web docs site is awesome! I was subscribed to a lot of topics to see someone make a change and then use it as an excuse to read that article. I just today found the Revision Dashboard (which suits my use case much better) and other stuff under the “Tools” section. I look forward to digging into it further and maybe even making a contribution one day!

Is that site just referred to as MDN? Like could I have just said MDN instead of “MDN web docs” above?

HI! Welcome!

I don’t think so, unfortunately. I guess now when you get a notification about a change, you can use that as a prompt to go unsubscribe from that page (or its parent).

You’re welcome to submit that as a feature request.

“MDN web docs” is the full brand, currently. In the future, there might be other Mozilla products that use “MDN” as a brand prefix. But for now, if you say “MDN” (especially in this forum :slight_smile: ) we’ll know what you’re talking about :slight_smile:

If we don’t already have a ticket filed for it, we should file one for adding the ability to see (and ideally manage) your list of watched pages.

I searched, but couldn’t find anything so I created a ticket https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1523135

:bulb: The documentation for the “Watch” feature is at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Contribute/Tools/Page_watching#The_page_change_emails

The bug was prioritized as a P5, which means staff won’t work on it. I’ve emailed Nate a list of his watched pages.

I presume this prioritization was in hopes that we will get onto a new platform that makes it moot sooner than we could actually implement such a thing. There are a few “lists of pages that…” that we’re missing that have slowed down work in various ways, including this one and “pages that link here”, the lack of which has been a substantial problem when trying to optimize for SEO and discoverability. We made do, but it does mean extra effort spent on hunting for information rather than writing. :slight_smile:
