Description

Current entries read something like "topic) . . Talk:Flow bugs; 18:12 . . Ironholds (Talk | contribs | block) added a comment."

This isn't very useful; topics provide as much (if not far more) context as a page. In addition, it doesn't scale to the multi-page setup we're talking about. How about:

$TOPIC on $PAGE; $TIMESTAMP $USER added a comment.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

Note: These are all being overhauled via the work at https://trello.com/c/S10KfqBm/80-8-history-watchlist-rc-and-contribs-changes
with detailed notes on the upcoming element-layout at https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/flow/cards/631 (designed to match the standard layout as much as possible).

The profusion of entries are addressed at bug 60723 (Flow floods watchlist)
