Sure, so perhaps the watchlist should list when the log entry for an action
affecting a watched page is changed (hidden/unhidden/whatever). I think that
should be done, actually - I'll file a new bug shortly.

I understand how it is different...

..but I don't understand how these log entries would be "lost" or
"inaccessible" or not transparent. For pages, it states clearly what page was
affected. For logs, it states what log was affected, but it doesn't state
clearly what that log entry was about (in some cases it can't, since that's
what was hidden). I'm still trying to think through how to make this more
readily intelligible to the user, as it's really not satisfactory right now,
IMO; please see bug 18335.
