I log in this morning, and find that the "watchlist" button has been replaced by "followed pages" button.

The two functions are different... The "followed pages" page does not show me who edited watched pages, when they edited them, nor whether the edit has been patrolled. It is difficult to do more than elementary "last N edits" patrolling without that functionality. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 17:08, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Special:Watchlist still exists, it's just the link in your menu that has changed. Ose ^talk/₃₇₂₁ 18:22, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Which is beyond annoying, but I've had that argument before. Eirik, take a look at w:User:Kaydeethree/global.js for a workaround (in Monaco, at least). A few tweaks and it'll work in other skins too...--k_d³ 18:52, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't understand how it works, but by following the recipe, I got the promised cake. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:50, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

... or maybe I'm seeing unforseen consequences and incidental correctness? I blanked my "global.js" page because was seeing funky stuff for quest titles, and now I still get the "watchlist" link. Compare the normal link for Operation: Gnomeregan to this Diff version. Funky - Diff, normal - otherwise, and befuddled - me. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:06, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
