I do a lot of work on Commons, while using a setting
that all pages I edit go to my watchlist. In the past I was able to control the size of my
watchlist by occasionally purging it by editing raw watchlist. However when Cat-a-lot
gadget become available I initially did not configure it properly and all files I edit
with it also ended up on my watchlist. Pretty soon my watchlist become too big to edit. I
am now at 36k pages and I definitely need to purge it.
What can be done about it? I asked few people and asked on some talk forums but nobody
knew the answer. I would be OK with deleting everything.
This came up on en.wp recently
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BN#Can_a_bureaucrat_delete_a_user.27s_watchlist.3F>.
A bugzilla request was filed to have the watchlist deleted.
