Description Helder 2014-07-04 10:45:57 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
(0. Remove page "X" from your watchlist)
1. Run python pwb.py scripts/touch.py -page:"X"
2. The page will be added to your watchlist

Please disable this watch feature by default, or allow one to set something like -watchlist:"nochange"[1] in the command line.

Comment 1 Helder 2014-07-04 10:55:02 UTC 
It seems "page.save" doesn't support the API's "nochange" option
https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/master/pywikibot/page.py#L867-L872
which is supported by "site.editpage"
https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/master/pywikibot/site.py#L2784

You may unhide the preferences settings of your bot at "Add pages and files I edit to my watchlist"
