It sounds like your WishLists are too general. It's very easy to accidentally create WishLists that match far more programmes than you intended. You can see which programmes match in advance, so you don't need to wait for them to record.

But really WishLists are intended for finding programmes that match something or someone you are interested in but don't know specific details. If you know exactly which programmes you want, a better approach would be to just use Series Links. You can set them up as soon as the programme first appears in the guide data (usually 2 weeks in advance of the first episode being broadcast).

Just to add: Marking things with thumbs up or down only affects Suggestions, which you've turned off anyway. Thumbs-downed programmes would still get recorded if they match a WishList
