Thanx, there were some subleties that I did not get from my own perusal, such as how to get those pages that have the "Related changes" options in the toolbox section of the left panel. It appears they occur automatically when one creates a username/pagename. -- Silverback

Interesting, can anyone create a watch list like this? Is there documentation of how?
Yes, anybody can do it, You can have as many different lists as you like, too. I have put some articles that I've removed from my Wikipedia Watchlist into a page called [[User:Tony Sidaway/Watched]]. It's just a list of wikilinks to the articles. A button on my user page contains a link to the following URL, and I just click the button to see recent changes to articles on the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchangeslinked/User:Tony_Sidaway/W... This enables me to have a relatively small Wikipedia watchlist for day-to-day use but still oversee many articles via a list that I check from time to time. On thing to watch for is that if you insert images or categories into this list make sure you put a colon before "image:" or "category:", otherwise the image will appear in the watchlist (and not just a link) or the watchlist will be added to the category (again, not just a link).
