Charitwo, we'll fix the deleted pages issue. They should be appearing as red links. I am concerned about the flakiness issue too.

MechaUltimaZero, we're listening to the feedback (and it is appreciated), but haven't made any decisions yet. If you're passionate about using Special:Watchlist, I suggest bookmarking it.
