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?
I don't know for sure (I don't remember this issue) but if you find an issue with
some character please raise an issue on
http://jira.xwiki.org since it's supposed to
work fine.
Thanks
