Description

This bug was reported on Portuguese Wikipedia, and started yesterday:
https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia:Caf%C3%A9_dos_programadores&oldid=29879266#P.C3.A1ginas_vigiadas_.282.29

Go to Portuguese Wikipedia and watch some page, e.g. [[]];
Go to [[pt:Special:Watchlist]] and wait until someone else edit the page (or edit it using another user account/IP)
Since this page was changed since our last visit, its name should be displayed like this <td><strong class="mw-watched"><a href="/wiki/Foo" title="Foo">Foo</a></strong>...</td>

but it is currently being displayed as
<td><a href="/wiki/Foo" title="Foo">Foo</a>...</td>
which is very inconvenient.

More details:

This happens on ptwiki and on enwiki but not on ptwikibooks;
This happens both using Firefox 12 and Chrome 18;
This happens using the enhanced watchlist as well as the normal watchlist

Questions:

Has anyone removed the <strong class="mw-watched">?
Was there any configuration change on these wikis related to watchlists?
If so, why?

Hmm...
I think this is the cause:
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/index.php?title=Server_admin_log&action=historysubmit&diff=46262&oldid=46249

Confirmed. Setting $wgShowUpdatedMarker = false, disables the bold text (class="mw-watched") in Watchlist.

Reedy, why did you change it? I'm not seeing a benefit on disabling it.

Adding shell keyword since it is just a request to restore the previous behavior by setting
$wgShowUpdatedMarker = true
for ptwiki (maybe others were affected as well?).

Oh, and related to that https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,6054

It was done as a short term intermediatary step.
