When enabled, you can get a notification when a page you made is linked from another page. I think it would be an enhancement if you could also get a notification for pages on your watchlist.
Thanks for taking the time to report this idea! Could you elaborate what exactly you refer to when you write "when enabled", and how to "get a notification when a page you made is linked from another page", so there are steps anybody else could follow? Thanks in advance.
This request came via the dutch wikipedia-helpdesk, see: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:HD#Melding_bij_koppelen_pagina.27s (dutch). As far as I understand, this is about the notifications you get via Echo if a page links to a page you created. The request is to also be able to get notifications if a page on your watchlist is linked.
On a personal note, I like the concept to be able to add and remove pages from the list you get notifications for links being made to it, but I think it is better of being a separate list, as watchlist can grow quite big, and the pages you want this for can be different to the pages you want to watch. But it can certainly help if you want to keep links to a certain disambiguation page under control, which was the reason for this request.
Andre Koopal, that's indeed what I meant :). And making a separate list sounds okay to me, but it might be a bit annoying to manage two watchlists, so the option to simply use your normal watchlist as a "new page notification watchlist'' would be welcome.
