Bug ID: 56766
Summary: When protecting a non-existent page, the API uses
wrong preference to determine whether to watch page
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API

When you use the API to protect a non-existent page with
protections=create=sysop and watchlist=preferences, it seems to use the value
of the "Add pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist"
(wpWatchCreations) preference to decide whether or not to add the page to your
watchlist.
Since no page is actually being created, this seems inappropriate.
