How to make your watchlist easier to read
If you use Firefox , there is a user script you can install called Watchlist sorter .
This script sorts your watchlist by namespace , and adds spaces within each entry. This makes the watchlist much easier to read.
To install the script, copy/paste the following line into your your common.js page . This will install the script across all your skins .
importScript("User:The Transhumanist/WatchlistSorter.js");
Note: After saving, you have to Bypass your cache . To do this in Firefox, hold down the ⇧ Shift key while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl +⇧ Shift +R ). Or, you may have to {{purge }} the Misplaced Pages server cache.
