Description Jon 2012-07-27 18:52:44 UTC 
Given an article name it should be possible via the api to query whether it is being watched or not.

Currently it seems that a developer has to retrieve the entire watch list and traverse it to check. This is unacceptable in my opinion.
Comment 2 Jon 2012-07-27 18:59:47 UTC 
Ahh it adds a watched attribute.
That's not obvious at all. I would have expected it to give an empty list.

This seems a bit illogical no?

(Also that query is not obvious at all even via exploring API Sandbox)
