 * 11:49, 31 March 2005 User:Patrick (Unfortunately, the latter possibility does not have the feature of edited pages automatically being added to the watchlist.)

 * 11:09, 31 March 2005 User:Patrick (Note that the watchlist feature is not as reliable as Recent Changes and Related Changes: it gives more often &quot;Database error&quot; without any further explanation.)
 * 11:15, 24 March 2005 User:Patrick (Note that Related Changes does not detect an edit in the page itself and its talk page. Either include a self-link and a link to the talk page in the page, or put the page in another &quot;special watchlis)
 * 11:08, 24 March 2005 User:Patrick (Watching pages in a category by applying Related Changes to the category has a major drawback: removal of a page from the category is not detected.)

 * 13:33, 28 January 2005 User:Patrick (In particular talk pages of template pages are vulnerable: content that is valuable enough for a non-talk page could be put here, if, by the nature of the template, it is not suitable for the template)

 * 13:10, 28 January 2005 User:Patrick (All additions to and deletions from the list of watched pages apply to the non-talk page / talk page combination: one can not watch one and not watch the other.)

 * 03:45, 27 November 2004 User:Patrick (Oddly, this link for reducing the number of watched pages is not available when the watchlist function does not work because of too many watched pages. In that case use a URL like http://en.wikipedia.)
