Yeah, I don't guess this is a matter of whether it is technically possible, but rather if the community would like to allow such functionality (what would then stop a troll to selectively disable all admins to watch his/her talkpage?)

Talk pages are for communication. If people were unable to watch these pages they would become less useful.

"Talkpage watcher" would do fine.

talk-page stalker is not necessarily an unfriendly term. It's meant as
an
explanation for why the person saw the question, and posted there. But perhaps we could find a better term for this, as stalker does have unfortunate connotations.

My English Wikipedia talkpage is watchlisted by a surprising number of users that I have no cooperative or friendly editing relationship
with.
Some of them refer to themselves as "talkpage stalkers." Might it be possible for a user to prohibit such persons from watchlisting him or
her?
If it's not possible to selectively prohibit, how about an on/off
switch,
i.e. *no-one* may watchlist an editor's individual talkpage.

Hi everyone,
WMF's Community Tech team is starting to work on a Cross-wiki
watchlist,
one of the top 10 wishes in the Community Wishlist Survey that we
conducted
at the end of last year. [1]
We're running a survey on how people use their watchlists, to help
inform
our work.
Hi everyone,
A couple of months ago, the Community Tech team ran a survey to
gather
information on how Wikimedians use their watchlists. You can see the results here:

If you're interested, there are also some very early and rough wireframes available on the project page:
