User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Followed pages - a new way to stay up-to-date on your favorite wiki pages/@comment-1615819-20100506043836

Can we be given an opt-out option? I find this to be quite the invasion of privacy for all users, and I sincerely doubt that anyone on my wiki wants to change their watchlist into a popular articles list. That really defeats the purpose of the watchlist, so I'd prefer this off, s'il vous plait. I don't suppose that you guys built in a turn-off button, have you?

@Kirkburn: It would be nice to see some Javascript or an off switch for the lightboxes. In my opinion, lightboxes only delay what the user wants to do: See a larger version of the pic/access the pic directly or access the data on it, usually the latter. I don't see the point in this, so I'd appreciate it if there were a solution to disabling it.
