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 a line (on a new line) in your skin.css page file. Example:
hides Wikipedia:Hide Pages in Watchlist.
The "{{bcode|4}}" is the namespace of the page, which can be determined by using the table found on the right of this page. Spaces, slashes ({{bcode|1=/}}), apostrophes ({{bcode|1='}}) and some other special characters must be replaced with an underscore ({{bcode|1=_}}). 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:
=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.
