Forum:Poll: Do you use the "auto-refresh" option on RecentChanges?

Do you use the "auto-refresh" option on RecentChanges? Yes No Currently considering whether this should stay a site-wide feature or whether I should simply make it a gadget which the users who want it can enable. Vote away :) -- Porter21 (talk) 22:09, January 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I really have no idea how it works (I'm too busy checking all the edits!) but it is turned on for me. Nitty Tok. 22:11, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't use it because I want to go down the whole page and look at everything, get all those pages done, and then refresh it myself when I'm ready. The control freak in me rebels against anything with "auto" in the name. So, basically, my no vote shouldn't sway your decision at all.--Gothemasticator 02:30, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have to say Goth, you took the words right out of my mouth. I don't oppose the idea of auto-refreshing in any way other than the fact that I like tackling what is at hand first. ;)


 * Also, good time to ask, Porter: is this feature something that considerable slows down browsing speed? -- Ghouly89 (Talk) 06:18, January 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * No worries, I don't use it either :P Hence this thread to see whether it's used widely enough to have it as a site-wide feature rather than a user-selected gadget.
 * @Ghouly: Don't think so. The script is loaded from an external site (dev.wikia), but I doubt it has that much of an effect on its own. -- Porter21 (talk) 21:11, January 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just a random comment - I find that the CVN channel is better for reverting vandalism as the changes appear faster than on an auto-refreshing RC. Ajraddatz 17:49, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

I use the auto-refresh when lurking on recentchanges to keep in time of what's getting edited. Shadowrunner(stuff) 04:22, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
