Interesting. What do people think about a compromise as follows? Again,
this is not speaking to the Wikipedia Zero case specifically, but rather to
the broader mobile web audience...

<noscript> / low-JS device: put "Add to Watchlist" labeled button at the
bottom of the article.

High end JS device, possibly on slow connection: keep star at top of page
with menubar (and use JS to suppress "Add to Watchlist" labeled button at
the bottom of the article).
