If you are a new user, this feature will automatically add pages that you edit or start to your watchlist. The rationale for doing this is to fill in new users' watchlists based on their recent edits, so they can find this tool more valuable and start using it more often. This could be simply implemented by changing the default for new users to automatically check the current Watchlist preference called 'Add pages and files I edit to my watchlist', as described here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo_(Notifications)/Feature_requirements#Add_edited_pages_to_new_user_watchlist A proposed revision has already been filed for this feature, which is awaiting review. So we could simply approve or tweak that revision, then merge it ourselves. See this related bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45020 The main reason I am posting this ticket is so we can track it in our Bugzilla list of tasks for Echo.
