Forum:Following?

What use, exactly, is the "Followed Pages" special page? As far as I understand (and the way I used it), the Watchlist was used to let you see when exactly certain pages were updated, letting you check those pages without having to skim through the Recent Changes. If Followed Pages is somehow able to do this, it's not explained on the special page or on the help article here.

If the Followed Pages isn't able to clearly notify you when a followed page has changed, will the staff please restore access to the Watchlist function? If needed, I could point the staff to forums on several of the wikis where I work, in which the editors have been complaining loudly about the change. Glorious  CHAOS!  23:37, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
