Please enable this! It's as simple as setting $wgFilterRobotsWL = true;

My watchlist is unusable because bots are flooding it with edits to year articles.

The watchlist is meant explicitly to display everything you're watching; just
because a bot made the change doesn't mean it should be hidden here.

If default setting for the watchlists would be "Show bots" then backward
compatibility is assured.

I don't see any use for this. The watchlist is there to show you which of
your pages have changed recently, which it does.

So "Recent pages" is *not* there there to show you which of all pages have changed
recently??

Why do you see a use for it with Recent pages but not with the watchlist?
