Deleted pages do not remove themselves from the watchlist (WP)
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Description:
I have a deleted page on my watchlist in the project namespace.

No matter WHAT I do, it will not remove itself from the site. I tried to create the page to delete it from my watchlist to no avail.

How do I remove this?

Just to clarify:

  1. Page "Project:Page" existed and was on your watchlist.
  2. You deleted "Project:Page"
  3. You now cannot remove "Project:Page" from your watchlist.

Do I have this right? If so, worksforme as of r36821

I've tried that, Mike.

It may not have originally been in project namespace (eg, the project namespace changed). In this case, you'll need a site administrator on the site (whatever it may be) to remove the broken entries from the watchlist table.

This can be done by running maintenance/cleanupWatchlist.php.
