User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Followed pages - a new way to stay up-to-date on your favorite wiki pages/@comment-22245-20100508144212

Look, all I want to do is be able to monitor a set of articles and talk pages for changes. I don't want to get e-mails the second anything changes; that means a flooded inbox and constant switching back and forth between two programs.

Yes, Special:Watchlist still exists, but you've made it a pain to get to and its replacement has LESS functionality. Special:Followed pages may be great for readers, but it's completely useless for editors.

I understanding wanting to make Wikia better for readers, but it should not be done at the expense of vital features *every* regular editor uses frequently.
