OK, but the default preference should be to keep it private by default, and the new feature would mainly be used just to see how many people are watching it.
I disagree. That default will make the feature
useless. Make the
default Public and place a good notice on the edit
page next to the watchlist
chechbox.
Why is making a watchlist public any worse than ones
contributions?
The proposal to watch who's watching which page is the kind of thing that's worthy of an aspiring KGB or CIA agent. The potential for mischief is too high. I want to be on the record as absolutely against it.
