I can reply: I used the normal Watchlist page, which causes the error 500.

Editing the raw list worked for me (I have sorted it in an external editor,
deleting duplicate entries, plus some netries that I have NEVER subscribed
myself notably when it sudenly started to flood like the "Support" page (it
started when I had not even visited the site since long), and did not want to
subscribe it.

Apparently someone added the Support page in my watchlist, or it was a side
effect of a recent upgrade with neceaary maintenance (and unreasonnable
default) of LQT on the TranslateWiki site. And then there were tons of threads
added to it implicitely (by a cascading effect of the LQT extension). I have
removed this "Support" page used implicitly as a base for most questions asked
by users there (in my opinion, moving all support questions in the same base
page is cuasnig this.

May be the subscription to this page was caused by someone moving/redirecting
one of my past pages (posted elsewhere) into the "Support" page (but instead of
moving the watched item only in its new Thread:* subpage, what is added is the
full "Support" page ; the tool that allows the admin to move old Talk pages,
when they are already watched, into a Support's new LQT thread, is probably
causing the issue).

Still, even if my Watchlist is now cleaned up a bit and is editable in raw
mode, trying to just view the Special:Watchlist page in normal mode, it just
generates an HTTP error 500.

Note: I have contributed a lot of translations (more than 5000 only for
MediaWiki, but many more also in other translation projects), so most French
translation subpages ("<project>:<RessourceName>/fr") are in the watchlist. It
has never flooded me like now.
