Special:Watchlist gets me a "Database error"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: shebs

Description:
I (User:Stan Shebs) have a large watchlist on en: WP - about 17-18,000 items,
although most are obscure, and only a couple hundred of them actually see edits
on any given day - and for the past week or so, asking for Special:Watchlist
gets me a page titled "Database error" and text on the page that says "Internal
error".

While it's perhaps a relief to get off the vandalism-watching treadmill after
two years on it, I can't even bring up to the list to shrink it down.

dammit is working on a much faster way to do the watchlist.
It will use recent_changes table for the changes of the last 7 days.
