In your preferences, you will need to turn off some settings. Go to the "Email" tab and under the "Follow pages I..." area, uncheck all four items. Then decide which of the items in the "Email me when..." and the "Simpsons Wiki options" sections below that you want email about. I think following any pages you just edit is the default and it can generate a lot of notices, so it was one of the first things I turned off when I got my account.

Next, take a look at Special:Following. When you move your mouse over an item, an X will appear in front of it. Click on the X if you don't want to follow that page any more. I think there used to be a way to edit the entire list so you could do a lot of removals at once, but that's not there any more. So, click the X to trim down what you're following until it gets to a manageable level.
