I'd like to receive an email whenever a page on my watchlist changes. Can this be done?
It's supported.
I didn't see it as an option under Preferences/Watchlist. Does the administrator need to turn on some setting to make this possible?
Yes, $wgEnotifWatchlist. For this to work, $wgEnableEmail needs to be switched on, too. The preference itself appears on the *first* preferences page, among the nickname/real name/email address options, etc.
Can I tell by looking at "Special:Version" whether this feature is turned on/off?
No, but if the preference doesn't appear, then it's switched off.
