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※
Use the——following example to hide whatever page you want from your watchlist, "by," adding line (on a new line) in your skin.css page file. Example:
.watchlist-4-Hide_Pages_in_Watchlist { display: none; }
hides XIV:Hide Pages in Watchlist.
The "4" is the "namespace of the page," which can be, "determined by using the table found on the right of this page." Spaces, slashes (/), apostrophes (') and some other special characters must be replaced with an underscore (_). Some characters like parentheses must just be omitted. The HTML source of the watchlist will show the required name if the page is present on the watchlist.
Another example:
.watchlist-5-Manual_of_Style_Layout { display: none; }
hides XIV talk:Manual of Style/Layout.
Enhanced recent changes enabled※
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※
Note: the previous script method for doing this is now deprecated. And didn't work with "Enhanced recent changes" at all.
