It is possible to '''Hide Pages in Your Watchlist''' using [[CSS]]. To hide a page, go to '''[[Special:MyPage/skin.css|your skin.css page]]'''. The CSS code required is different depending on whether you have the "[[Meta:Help:Enhanced recent changes|Enhanced recent changes]]" option selected in your [[Special:Preferences#preftab-4|preferences]].<br />
<br />
===Enhanced recent changes disabled===<br />
Use the following example to hide whatever page you want from your watchlist, by adding a line (on a new line) in [[Special:MyPage/skin.css|your skin.css page]] file. Example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="css">.watchlist-4-Hide_Pages_in_Watchlist { display: none; }</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
hides [[Wikipedia:Hide Pages in Watchlist]]. <br />
<br />
The "{{bcode|4}}" is the namespace of the page, which can be determined by using the table found on the right of this page. Spaces, slashes ({{bcode|1=/}}), apostrophes ({{bcode|1='}}) and some other special characters must be replaced with an underscore ({{bcode|1=_}}). Some characters like parentheses must just be omitted. The HTML source of the watchlist will show the required name if the page is present on the watchlist. <br />
<br />
Another example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="css">.watchlist-5-Manual_of_Style_Layout { display: none; }</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
hides [[Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Layout]].<br />
<br />
===Enhanced recent changes enabled===<br />
When using "enhanced recent changes", the code for the above examples is changed to:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="css"><br />
.mw-changeslist-ns4-Hide_Pages_in_Watchlist { display: none; }<br />
.mw-changeslist-ns5-Administrators_Noticeboard { display: none; }</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
==Previous method==<br />
Note: the [[Wikipedia:Hide Pages in Watchlist (old script method)|previous script method]] for doing this is now deprecated, and didn't work with "Enhanced recent changes" at all.<br />
