It is possible to Hide Pages in Your Watchlist using CSS. To hide a page, go to your skin.css page. The CSS code required is different depending on whether you have the "Enhanced recent changes" option selected in your preferences.
Enhanced recent changes disabled[edit]
Use the following example to hide whatever page you want from your watchlist, by adding a line (on a new line) in your skin.css page file. Example:
.watchlist-4-Hide_Pages_in_Watchlist { display: none; }
hides Wikipedia:Hide Pages in Watchlist.
The "
" is the namespace of the page, which can be determined by using the table found on the right of this page. Spaces and slashes (4
) in the page name must be replaced with an underscore (/
)._
Another example:
.watchlist-5-Manual_of_Style_Layout { display: none; }
hides Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Layout.
Enhanced recent changes enabled[edit]
When using "enhanced recent changes", the code for the above examples is changed to:
.mw-changeslist-ns4-Hide_Pages_in_Watchlist { display: none; }
.mw-changeslist-ns5-Administrators_Noticeboard { display: none; }
Previous method[edit]
Note: the previous script method for doing this is now deprecated, and didn't work with "Enhanced recent changes" at all.
