You can already hide your own contributions. As for hiding
your modifications on your user and own talk page, I don't
think we want to add yet another useless option.

Perhaps I was a little glib in my original description. Often, during busy
times, when I'm "out there" on several different (especially talk) pages and
editing in my user space, I find it convenient to use my watchlist to monitor
these goings on. I want to see the interplay between my edits and those of
others without the clutter of my edits in my userspace.

It is not "another useless option" and I would not have suggested it if I
thought it were.

(Note that you could whip up some custom JavaScript to hide them if you really
really want this, but it seems not a very general feature.)

I looked at that first. It would would have to "special" of the "Olympean"
variety as there are no surrounding DIVs or SPANs etc. Each line of output is
free-range.

But, oh well. Thanks for fixing Special:Filepath :-)
