I would like to have my watchlist publicly viewable,

Additionally, I would like to have a publicly EDITABLE watchlist: like,
hey Ed please watch this page!
I'd even like to have multiple watchlists, each with:
* a name
* a setting for publicly viewable, or hidden
* a setting for publicly editable, or personally controlled
I need an NPOV watchlist, a "users fighting" watchlist, and a "global
warming" watchlist.
This is an absolutely terrible idea. Talk about giving people reason to
think that there are cabals.
Ed: the watchlist that is most important to be public is the one you use to
watch "users fighting"--because that is the one in which your own behavior
should be under scrutiny.
Having both public and private watchlists would be an ugly corruption of the
basic WikiNature of Wikipedia.
