Creating category talk pages doesn't add them to the watchlist, this even with the following setting activated: *Add pages I create to my watchlist This happens at Commons, possibly elsewhere.
Works for me: * check Special:Preferences to confirm 'Add pages I create to my watchlist' is checked under Watchlist tab * go to nonexisting page 'Category talk:Test test test fake' * hit edit * type "testing bug" * confirm that "Watch this page" checkbox is checked in the edit form * save * go to Special:Watchlist * confirm that 'Category talk:Test test test fake' appears If you follow these steps with a new test page, what happens for you?
It doesn't work for me. I tried: *[[Commons:Category talk:Test test test fake]] and *[[Commons:Talk:Test test test fake]] At least in Vector skin, for category talk, the star isn't blue by default, but in namespace 1 it is.
It seems to happen with category namespace as well.
