User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Followed pages - a new way to stay up-to-date on your favorite wiki pages/@comment-961279-20100628002050

I didn't even realize that the Watchlist was still accessible, but now that I read back through the comments, I see it was mentioned a couple of times. So, I went through a lot of bother when I didn't have to.

In this case, I became a newbie again. And if I was bothered enough by the new UI, how much more frustrated would a real newbie be? Would they give up on using it and not care how many pages they are following?

Wikia, a real simple way to implement my function requests is to insert a link at the top of the Followed pages list that says something like "For maintenance of your Followed pages, click here" and link to Special:Watchlist/edit.
