[WikiEN-l] Watchlist feature requests (was Re: Cruft)

[Guillaume Paumier]

Some of your requests are available through edition of your monobook.js.
Contributors from fr wikipedia have created javascripts to manage watchlist
easilly: for example, you can remove all articles from your watchlist, or
only subpages from AfD... you can also hide bots in your watchlist. You can
find this there :
