Citation watchlist script

[edit]

In the future when we have a centralized service doing this work, because we are doing something more complicated than screens against RSP,

The user script:

  1. Seeks consent to access the external service where data is coming from
  2. Scans each revision ID / prev ID on a watchlist
  3. Submits them to the service in batch
  4. Retrieves data
  5. Adds to HTML based on retrieved data

What about this "service"? If I set up WRDB as an ongoing, self-updated service, then all this service would need to do is check the revision ID in WRDB. At the moment, however, WRDB only supports a one-time build, and domain information is not directly stored in the database. However, this will help with support for non-URL references in the future.
