 * That is a new feature that has been put in place. See User blog:Sarah Manley/Followed pages - a new way to stay up-to-date on your favorite wiki pages. You can't disable it for other users, but you can hide your watchlist from other users by going to Special:Preferences and under the "Followed pages" tab checking the "Make my followed pages lists private" option. There is also a help page on the feature. Hope that helps. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 10:07, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
