 Welcome to Wikipedia for beginners, in this video we'll look at the watchlist. On Wikipedia, there is a watchlist where you can follow Wikipedia articles to see when they are updated. To see your watchlist, click on the watchlist icon in the top right hand corner, it's next to the alerts and notices icons, and is a star with lines. Clicking this icon takes you to your watchlist. This shows recent updates made to pages on your watchlist. For me, it shows pages that I've created or edited and some that I watch because I'm interested in them. You can easily add or remove a page to your watchlist by going to any page and then clicking the star icon. When the icon is filled in, it's on your watchlist and you'll be able to see recent updates. Back on the watchlist page, new updates appear in bold, and you can mark them as seen by clicking the mark all changes as seen button or just leave them. Using live updates will make the page automatically update as new changes are made, otherwise you will see a small button appear on the page to let you manually refresh if there's updates to see. You can filter what is shown on the list such as seeing changes made by logged out users or changes made to talk pages rather than articles. There's also a series of abbreviations used on the watchlist page and the key to understanding them is on the right hand side of this page. M is for minor updates, usually when a very small edit has been made, like correcting a typo, while B or MB means the edit was made by a bot. Bots are automated tools that fix common mistakes and will clean up referencing errors or similar things in the background. At the top of this page, if you click view and edit watchlist, you can see a list of all the pages you watch and remove them too if you want. I watch about 180 Wikipedia pages, but you can have thousands on your list. When editing an article, you have the option to add the article to your watchlist after you click publish changes. You can also change this so it's only on your watchlist for a short period of time or forever.
