== How to indicate to the user that a page is hidden from view? ==
I think the script should indicate that pages are hidden from the watchlist when that is the case. What do you think is the best way to do that? I don't want to make it too attention-grabbing; just like, a line or something to show that a page is hidden. Or perhaps a notice at the top of the watchlist listing all the pages that the user has chosen to ignore? The problem is that eventually people will forget that they are ignoring a page and then later wonder why that page isn't appearing on their watchlist. <
:I like the idea of the watchlist notice. I don't know if this is possible, but you could insert a statement after "You have ## pages on your watchlist (excluding talk pages)." [[User:Dabomb87|Dabomb87]] ([[User talk:Dabomb87|talk]]) 22:14, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Why doesn't the above work? Yes, I've refreshed :-) [[User:Tedder|tedder]] ([[User talk:Tedder|talk]]) 01:42, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Same thing is happening to me, Firefox 3.0.10, with enhanced changes disabled. I have disabled Greasemonkey and none of my other extensions could interfere. [[User:Gracefool|··gracefool]][[User talk:gracefool|☺]] 12:47, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:This is probably irrelevant, but in IE6 it was necessary to omit the comma after the ']' to make it work. Just a tiny chance I suppose that it might be the same bug in FF 3.0.10.--[[User:Kotniski|Kotniski]] ([[User talk:Kotniski|talk]]) 13:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:: My best bet is for both [[User:Tedder]] and [[User:Gracefool]] to remove the final comma; so instead of {{bcode|'Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship',}}, it would be {{bcode|'Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship'}}, and instead of {{bcode|'Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos',}}, it would be {{bcode|'Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos'}}. That worked for me. <
(deindenting) I removed the final comma, and even the other redundant comma. So here's my current setup:
<
// 'Talk:Example',
// 'User:Example',
Line 50 ⟶ 54:
]};
importScript('User:Gary King/hide pages in watchlist.js');

: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Gary_Queen/monobook.js&diff=290119921&oldid=290119863 This] should fix it for you. I played around with the code, and for some reason, discovered that when I deleted the word "adminship" then typed it out by hand again, it worked. In the diff I linked to, both edits look the same, but for some reason MediaWiki considers them to be different words. That's most likely what was causing the problem, because after I typed out the word by hand, the script worked again. <

== Hiding pages with / in them ==
I have [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking]] on my list, but it still shows up in my watchlist. I assume this is because of the <nowiki>/</nowiki> in the title, as this particular page shows up a different colour on [[User:Lachlanusername/vector.css|my .css page]]. Is there a way around this? [[User:Lachlanusername|Lachlanusername]] ([[User talk:Lachlanusername|talk]]) 08:38, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
: Similar to the other items in your CSS page, you simply replace the / with an underscore _. So it would be .watchlist-5-Manual_of_Style_Linking . <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Gary King|<span style="color:#02b;">Gary <b>King</b></span>]] <span style="font-size: 0.9em;">([[User talk:Gary King|<span style="color:#02e;">talk</span>]] · [[User:Gary King/Scripts|<span style="color:#02e;">scripts</span>]])</span></span> 18:54, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

== Make hide filter earlier ==
Currently, if you click the "Hide bots" link, it simply filters the output of the search '''after''' it has queried the last edit of each page in the watchlist and sorted it. What would be more useful (I believe) is to filter the bot edits as part of the query so that the last non-bot-edit will show up in the results. For example, page XYZ's edit history is:
*11:23 by MotherOfAllBots
*10:12 by AHumanUser
If I view my watchlist, the 11:23 edit appears. If I click the "Hide bots" link, page XYZ disappears from the watchlist completely. It would be more useful if it, instead, displayed the 10:12 edit. As it stands now, I can't use the "hide bots" function, and have to click on the history for each page in the watchlist, even if shown as a bot edit, to make sure there wasn't a human edit before it that I haven't seen.
BTW, why doesn't the history page show the "bot" flag? <span style="color:red;">—[</span>[[User:AlanM1|<span style="color:green;">Alan</span><span style="color:blue;">M</span><span style="color:purple;">1</span>]] ([[User_talk:AlanM1|talk]])<span style="color:red;">]—</span> 01:10, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
== skin.css and vector.css ==
The instructions state that you should "go to your skin.css page", but when I click that link I am actually taken to my vector.css page. Was the page renamed? If so, maybe the references to skin.css should be replaced by references to vector.css. Thanks, --[[User:Viennese Waltz|Viennese Waltz]] 12:41, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
:No, it means <your skin>.css where you should replace <your skin> with whatever the name of the skin you are currently using. In most cases nowadays this will be vector as that is now the default. Older users may be using something else, you can set it in your preferences. You can also put css code in [[User:Viennese Waltz/common.css]] which will result in it being applied to all skins. This is useful if you switch skins, or might do so in the future.

== Hiding a whole namespace excluding the namespace's subpages ==
Is there a way to hide a whole namespace excluding the namespace's subpages? I want to hide all edits made to the User namespace (e.g. <code>User:Wikipedian</code>) but still show all edits made to the namespace's ''subpages'' (e.g. <code>User:Wikipedian/List of helpful tools (updated regularly)</code>).

:I'd like to hide most talk pages except specific articles. I ended up watching 100+ articles for many subjects of interest, but don't edit most (so talk is overload): only am interested in actual article updates.--[[User:Dchmelik|dchmelik]] ([[User_talk:Dchmelik|t]]|[[Special:Contributions/Dchmelik|c]]) 10:52, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
