Hi Jan,
I believe that WMF Community Tech is working toward unifying watchlists
across wikis. See
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Cross-wiki_watchlist
I like the idea of time-limited watchlist items. You might propose that on
Phabricator.
Regarding research (as opposed to enginerring), I am unaware of current
research projects but I suggest that you check the archives of the Research
Newsletter.
Dario or others may have more information.

Hello Research list,
Are you aware of research on the use of Watchlists on Wikipedia? There are
is the wish in the German Community to improve watchlists (one suggestion
is the ability to watch a page only for a certain amount of time) but I
currently lack the data to find out about the needs behind that and other
wishes.
