Watched Pages have been merged with Subscriptions
You might have noticed that the Watched Pages link in your “More” menu. As I mentioned in a previous post, that’s intentional. There has been confusion between page subscriptions (where you can subscribe for notifications to page/site changes) and Watched Pages (where you can see what pages you’re watching and subscribe to them via RSS, for example) for some time now. Obviously, this was causing great confusion among new users so we decided to merge the functionality of the two services. Now, instead of having a watched pages page, you just have a Subscriptions page located here: http://developer.mindtouch.com/Special:Subscriptions
As a result, the watched pages you were watching have automatically been converted to Subscribed pages. You can manage subscriptions more easily now as well. Learn more here: http://help.mindtouch.us/kb/Managing_Notifications
Note: the Subscriptions link is missing from the Tools menu on Developer.MindTouch.com. This is a known error in the skin being used here. We will likely push a fix live today. In the meantime, you can directly navigate to the subscriptions page by using the link above.
