I don't think this is achievable with the extension. As far as I know, the watch list feature is deeply built into MediaWiki -- it's using its own database table and is not just an extension. What could be done (although I'm not sure how hard or easy this will be), is adding the feature that the user's watch list itself can be loaded as the current collection. I don't know how useful this is or if this would solve your specific problem though. > If I understand you correctly, the "save collection" feature saves a > snapshot of the collection gathered.

Actually one of the reasons to persist collections by saving them in the first place, is to have a fixed list of articles (ideally the links would even contain the revision of the article, but due to the fact that MediaWiki markup doesn't have a link syntax which contains a specific revision, this isn't possible).
