Two fixes come to mind: making the autowatching trigger
for major edits
only, and giving the autowatch a time duration. For example, I would love
a feature that would automatically add pages I've made major edits to to my
watchlist for 7 days (or 30 or whatever), after which they drop off the
list (unless I've made a new major mod myself). That way, I'd be able to
see what sort of responses and modifications are made immediately after
I've made a major contribution to an article, but it's not there forever.
Of course, manually-added page watches would have an indefinite duration,
as currently happens.
Now *this* is a feature that I could definitely use!
7 days sounds right for me, please.
While we're on the subject, I'd dearly like a secondary watchlist
that listed all the pages that I'm watching, in alphabetical order,
with no further information about them (no database lookup necessary).
An analogy: [[Watchlist]] : [[Recentchanges]] :: my request : [[Allpages]].
For extra gratitude from me, include nonexistent but watched pages
(which breaks the analogy somewhat).
