SameOldBrandNew said: I've done this experiment and can report my observations. I, too, was curious how this worked, because I wanted to know if I removed something prematurely if it would lose its associated wishlisted count if I readded it later on. Answer: no! System remembers who has wishlisted removed items!

Here is what I did and observed:

1) I removed something wishlisted by 5 people when I uncheck the green button on my Swap List of items offered.
2) Item shows up as removed in the Recent Events page.
3) People who had item wishlisted will see the item removed on the Recent Events page, with their star rating.
People who did not have the item wishlisted will see the item removed on the Recent Events page, with no star rating.
4) Within the same minute of removal, I clicked the green check button to re-add the item from my Swap List.
5) The system instantly reported 5 people still had the item wishlisted.


Conclusion:

The system will remember the star rating, if you do not un-star items on the events page, and will remove the item from your Wishlist since it doesn't exist in the full Tradelist anymore.

If you un-star a removed item from the events page, it will NOT be automatically Wishlisted if the item is readded later.

You could also GIVE a star rating to something from the Recent Events page line item when it was removed, and it would join your Wishlist if it is readded later. Useful if you missed starring an item before it got removed.

Have you ever seen something added at the Recent Events page and it already has your star rating on it? I have, and this could be why.

I think the reason it works this way is the wish lists aren't only per swap. It is for general purposes also.
