Hi Vladimir,
Thanks for this patch. In theory, this sounds reasonable - and the code you
created looks fine. My one concern is that, as far as I know, currently in
MediaWiki the "watch this page" checkbox is never checked by default -
except in special cases like that the user is creating a new page; and even
for those cases, the user can decide not to have it checked by default, by
changing their preferences. So I'm worried that this could break an
expectation on the part of users that some page they decided to edit won't
get added to their watchlist. Which is not a major concern, but it might be
worth something.
Could you explain why you want that checkbox checked on some forms?
