Huggle currently loads the whole user watchlist to start with, so it is able to
provide a "leave watchlist unchanged" option regardless of the user's watchlist
preferences. This works reasonably well.

I personally think it would be a good idea to make API editing ignore the
user's watchlist preferences completely; API clients don't need them. If they
want to watch every page or creation they can pass "watch" with the request,
the preference is only there so users don't have to check the "watch" check box
every time they edit; bots don't get fed up like that. :)
