Hi all,
Over the weekend, I was reminded that we don't have accounts watch their user page and user talk page by default. (I was actually surprised to hear this, and had to go create a test account to confirm.)
Seems like a good idea to me. People do get talk notifications, of course, and generally you shouldn't edit someone else's user page.
However, that's exactly why you want to be notified when someone *does* edit your user page. As for the talk page, it doesn't hurt, and it gives them an idea of the point of a watchlist.
