For three or four days now, I am frequently getting database errors when I try to call up my watchlist. I'd say I'm getting them about 80% of the time and it's getting worse.
I had about 1500 articles on it. Thinking that might be the cause, I've been trying to prune them, rather difficult since the "checkbox" method of deleting them seems to get database errors too, so I've been calling up the articles one at a time and unwatching them. I'm down to about 1300 now, with no apparent improvement.
Is this happening to anyone else and has anyone got any ideas about what to do about it? (Yes, I know... not having a watchlist is a good way to reduce Wikistress...)

You might as well stop pruning, dpbsmith, I have exactly the same symptoms with a mere 500 pages. My SQL server, come back, all is forgiven! Bishonen

When MySQL server goes away, where does it go, exactly?

I've been having the same problem. I had a similar size Watchlist, and also deleted 300 or so items hoping it would improve, with no success.

FWIW, it's not a universal problem (in case anyone had any doubts). my small 600+ item watchlist works fine.

Yes, I get this too, filed bug 1793 on it. Response so far is that somebody is working on a faster scheme. I'm sure WP will get all messed up in the meantime :-), but that's OK, it's a good excuse to work down my picture backlog.
