Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Unwatch

This script adds an "unwatch" link to each entry in your watchlist.

There are two variations, depending on whether the "Enhanced recent changes" option is selected in your user preferences.

// Unwatch link: No enhanced recent changes
// Add Unwatch to watch list
// from [[User:Matthewmayer/monobook.js]]
addOnloadHook(function () {
   if (window.___location.href.indexOf("Special:Watchlist")!=-1) {
      //correct page, so retrieve watchlist items
      var items=document.getElementById('bodyContent').getElementsByTagName('li');
      for (var i=0;i<items.length;i++) {
            //what is the title of this page?
            pagename=items[i].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].title;
            //create 'unwatch' element
            unwatchelt=document.createElement('a');
            unwatchelt.setAttribute('href','/w/index.php?title='+pagename+'&action=unwatch');
            unwatchelt.setAttribute('title','Unwatch '+pagename);
            unwatchelt.appendChild(document.createTextNode('(unwatch)'));
            //add the 'unwatch' element
            items[i].appendChild(unwatchelt);
      }
    }
 }
);
