Fisrt, excuse me for my bad english.

This page has been recently (yesterday) semi-protected.
Since that, this page disapeared from my watching list, because the last
modification (
http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walibi_Lorraine&action=history ) is
semi-protection.

What does it mean "disappeared"? If the protection edit wasn't shown in the
Watchlist but all the previous edits were, it's normal, and the page didn't
disappear - future edits will be shown in the Watchlist. The protection is not a
regular edit, and therefore is not shown in the Recent Changes and Watchlist.

Yes, I understood that future edits will be shown in the Watchlist. But I
disagree, as you said "The protection is not a regular edit", but it is an edit
operation and it is an IMPORTANT edit operation.

Additionnaly, there were some other edits on the article just before the
protection operation.
( http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walibi_Lorraine&action=history ) -
the same day. These modifications are not shown neither : they have been
"hidden" by the protection
