Description:
When I go to my watchlist in Wikipedia, the initial screen behaves normally,
but if I try to look at all the changes, which used to work fine, it only
goes back as far as early June of this year. I routinely check this for
watched pages that have had no edits for a long time. This is my main use of
the watchlist, so now the feature is almost useless to me. Even a list of
pages with "no changes since..." would be more helpful than nothing.

Works for me in cvs, oldest entry is from september 3 2004.
Might be a wikimedia hack.

This was caused by some bug that has been fixed. Data needed for the watchlist
queries was not updated for some time. On June 11, this bug has been fixed and
data is now being updated.

Since recomputing the missing entries is very complicated, this will not be fixed.
