On a related subject, the fact that categories don't allow you to monitor the articles that are in them in your watchlist is incredibly broken. It seems to me if I watch a category and somebody adds or takes away from it, I should know about it.
I'd disagree with that. I have lots of categories in my watchlist at the moment, because I want to know when the explanatory text is edited or when the category is recategorized with respect to its parent categories---I'm watching the category itself, not its contents. Since some of these categories are extremely large, I definitely *don't* want a notification every single time an article is added to or removed from one, since that would be so frequent as to swamp any edits to the category itself. At the very least this should be a different type of category-watching so I can opt out of it and keep the current behavior.
