Articles do not get added to the watchlist, even when "Add pages and files I edit to my watchlist" is checked in the preferences.
This concerns editing items.
If articles added to watchlist manually, it works. But Preference --> Watchlist -->Add does not work.
I guess this is because we don't edit content the usual way, we do it through API calls. Some stuff is going on at line 286 in ApiEditPage and we need to mimic it in ApiModifyEntity and other modules.
This is not an enhancement. It's a bug.
I have not tried it but here's a hack that potentially helps: http://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata%3AContact_the_development_team&diff=6866598&oldid=6865573
This should be handled by Wikidata\EditEntity (not \Wikidata\Api\EditEntity), as Wikidata\EditEntity is essentially our version of the controller login in EditPage.
*** Bug 45961 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The hack in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js uses mw.msg( 'wikibase-save' ) Maybe the resource 'wikibase-save' not loaded when the script is executed. This can assured by: mw.loader.using( 'wikibase.ui.PropertyEditTool', function () { ... } );
Patch: I36c6a3a28 This is still incomplete and fails unit tests; but it can already be tested, and feedback is welcome.
Has this been fixed? Items I edit are added to my watchlist and I can't find any gadget being responsible for it.
I do not see any code that would take care of this. I'll finish I36c6a3a28 asap. If it's "working" on wikidata.org, it's probably some kind of JS hack (gadget or other). I would not consider that a fix.

Indeed. http://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACommon.js&diff=7497196&oldid=5042224 is responsible; better than nothing, but far from perfect.

Doesn't work for me.
I36c6a3a28 is waiting for review

Still does not work for me (Chrome under OSX 10.5.8).
Patch has been merged into the codebase, it's not yet deployed on the servers.
