Just as we have "Hide bots" for Recent changes, I think it is needed for the Watchlist. In fact I think all the show/hide options should be the same for both.
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.
The option should be provided to the user to show/hide bots. This has been used on da.wp for the past 8 months, according to Wegge.

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? Are features added because users request them or only they match one developer's narrow interpretation of the parent feature?
