Limit to main namespace? (Enhancment) #118

Closed lokal-profil closed 9 years ago

Appologies if this ends up being a wikichanges issue.

Would it be possible to limit anon (through a toggle in config) to only look at contributions to the main namespace (articles for Wikipedia, more complicated for Commons). I would argue that the other namespaces are often of less interest to the average tweet reader. The main reason for the suggestion however is that edits to other pages, especially talk pages of various kinds, often risks linking usernames with IP addresses and thus the companies/departments they are working in.

As a concrete example: I picked up on an anon edit to a talk page which was immediately followed by an entry where a user signed the entry.

Not being very familiar with coffeescript but would the following work if inserted after line 102 else if account.namespaces and edit.namespace not in account.namespaces then together with a namespaces : ["Article"] in config
