1. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist 2. Select "User" namespace in the dropdown menu 3. Click "Go" 4. The page will be reloaded but the URL will still be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist Notice that if now I click in e.g. "Show minor edits", the URL becomes https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Watchlist&namespace=2&hideminor=0 so the "Go" button should also generate this parameter. This would allow scripts such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Theopolisme/Scripts/ajaxWatchlist.js?oldid=598337587 to easily update the page with the same parameters it was loaded initially.
I would like to work on this. Can someone please assign this bug to me ?
Assigned
The reason the "namespace" parameter doesn't appear in the url is because the form on the Watchlist page uses POST method. Changing it to GET seems to work. So, should i change it to GET, since there is no sensitive data being passed ?
