Watchlists not removing watched films

Post by 90sCoffee »

Dunno if this is intentional but the watchlist would remove a film in the past after you'd seen and ranked it. Now after you rank it, it stays on your watchlist until you manually remove it from the film's page.

If you're talking about the "Remembered Films" special collection, it should be removing films once you've ranked them. This is the collection which is added to, when you click any "Remember" link. I just tested this myself, and it seems to be working (at least from the Film Information page).

Every other collection is different, for example the Wishlist. A lot of people use this to keep track of films they want to buy (or have bought for them), so ranking a film on this list shouldn't auto-remove it.

Does that help explain the expected functionality?

suggestion: One elegant way to deal with this would be to let users configure the special collections (either on the users option page, or on the collection page, or both) so they can decide whether or not to remove ranked films (from wishlist, remembered films, etc.) – with the default remaining as it currently is.
