This seems to be a MW bug. Ever since we updated our wiki to MW 1.23, this has been happening to lots of our users, myself included.
Apparently, the option to add pages edited to the watchlist is checked by default, which probably needs to be disabled by default.

There is no mention of this feature in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Rollback but according to Helder in this bug report https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66273 mediawiki insert every page to which a rollback api was used on to a users watchlist.
Is there a way to disable it?
