Thanx, there were some subleties that I did not get from my own perusal, such as how to
get those pages that have the "Related changes" options in the toolbox section
of the left panel. It appears they occur automatically when one creates a
username/pagename.

Interesting,
can anyone create a watch list like this? Is there
documentation of how?
Yes, anybody can do it, You can have as many different lists as you like,
too. I have put some articles that I've removed from my Wikipedia
Watchlist into a page called [[User:Tony Sidaway/Watched]]. It's just a
list of wikilinks to the articles. A button on my user page contains a
link to the following URL, and I just click the button to see recent
changes to articles on the list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchangeslinked/User:Tony_Sidaway/…
This enables me to have a relatively small Wikipedia watchlist for
day-to-day use but still oversee many articles via a list that I check
from time to time.
On thing to watch for is that if you insert images or categories into this
list make sure you put a colon before "image:" or "category:",
otherwise
the image will appear in the watchlist (and not just a link) or the
watchlist will be added to the category (again, not just a link).
