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.

Right.

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).
