I do a lot of work on Commons, while using a

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<ht…F>>.
A bugzilla request was filed to have the watchlist deleted.
