Well this leads to a question on my side: isn't there still a problem with 
certain characters in page names that cause the watchlist feature to get buggy? 
I remember that (iirc) apostrophs in page names causes problems when trying to 
show all watched pages on the profile - the list simply stays empty. Is this 
bug solved yet?
