It's true that the concept of a watch list is a bit overloaded at the
moment, and I see your privacy concerns.

Is there any way that the watchlist page could be hacked to detect if
any of the pages on it were up for AfD? Could be useful to show other
kinds of info like protection, semi protection, RfC, merge requests
etc...probably require changes to MediaWiki though, no?
