Collaboration team [1]  is announcing plans to graduate the New Filters for Edit \
Review [2] out of beta on Watchlist by late June or early July. After launch, this \
suite of improved edit-search tools will be standard on all wikis. Individuals who \
prefer the existing Watchlist interface will be able to opt out by means of a new \
preference.

The New Filters introduce an easier yet more powerful filtering interface [3] to \
Watchlist as well as a whole list of filters and other tools that make reviewing \
edits more efficient, including live page updating [4], user-defined highlighting \
[5], the ability to create special-purpose filter sets and save them for re-use [6] \
and (on wikis with ORES  enabled [7]) predictive filters powered by machine learning \
[8]. If you're not familiar with the New Filters, please give them a try on Watchlist \
by activating the New Filters beta feature. In particular, it would be very helpful \
if you could test the new functionality with your local gadgets and configurations. \
The documentation pages [9] provide guidance on how to use the many new tools you'll \
discover. 

Over 70,000 people have activated the New Filters beta, which has been in testing on \
Watchlist for more than eight months. We feel confident that the features are stable \
and effective, but if you have thoughts about these tools or the beta graduation, \
please let us know on the project talk page [10]. In particular, tell us if you know \
of a special incompatibility or other issue that makes the New Filters problematic on \
your wiki. We'll examine the blocker and may delay release on your wiki until the \
issue can be addressed.
