Per-article, manual, easy to miss things
- You have to find and add every single article yourself
- A brand-new article on your subject never appears
- Related articles drift out of date without you noticing
- Checking means visiting each page’s history
Concept mock · Topic-level Wikipedia watching
Follow a topic on Wikipedia and get an alert plus a tidy digest whenever any article in that topic changes — not just the pages on your watchlist.
Wikipedia’s built-in watchlist tracks individual articles you already know about. This concept tracks a subject area instead, so you hear about new and edited articles you would never have thought to watch.
Three steps — demo below uses samples
Search for a subject — a field, an era, a technology — rather than a single article title.
Major rewrites and new sections ping you right away. Small fixes quietly batch up.
A short weekly email: what changed, why it matters, and links to the diffs — nothing else.
Tap a topic to jump straight into its sample alerts and digest preview. No account, no live data.
All alerts & dates below are samples
Typing any topic generates labelled sample alerts for that name so you can feel the flow. It does not search Wikipedia.
Diff summaries above are paraphrased samples, written for this mock — not copied from any real edit.
Staging placeholder: this field stores nothing, sends nothing, and creates no account. In a real product this is where a digest subscription would live — here it only demonstrates the layout.
Sample counts · changes are in-memory only for this session
Added topics appear in the list below with a sample count of 0. Refreshing the page resets everything — by design for a mock.
Counts, “last change” times, and frequencies are all samples. Tapping a topic opens its sample alerts in the demo.
