**Description:**
Background: Grow tired of not being able to edit massive (41k+) watchlist by normal means (clicky-clicky or raw) (see bug #39510). Manually whittle watchlist down to 39k+ entries. Dig out https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=watchlistraw&gwrlimit=max and hand-craft a list of watchlist entries to be kept after a watchlist purge.
The act: go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:EditWatchlist/clear and click the button. Watch nothing happen. Get following error message:
