It appears that an AFT-related JavaScript error is causing issues with the
watchlist, as reported here on Village Pump: (see comments below)

JavaScript not loading on my Watchlist?
For some reason, JavaScript isn't loading on my Watchlist. This morning it
worked fine, but in the past few hours JavaScript has not been loading on my
Watchlist. For instance, I use "Enhanced recent changes", so diffs should be
collapsed, but at the moment they are all expanded. I'm also using the Monobook
skin. I see no errors appearing in my JavaScript Console in Firefox. JavaScript
works fine on all other pages. At the moment my guess is that something was
changed in the JavaScript for Watchlists, such as a new variable, that could be
conflicting with one of my scripts, so no error is given but something is still
broken. I emptied my JS and CSS pages, and still the same problem on my
Watchlist, so something seems to be broken on Wikipedia's end. Gary King (talk

Link Classifier wasn't working for me on my Watchlist after I read your post,
but I just manually reloaded it and it then worked. I would suggest that, and
then emptying your browser cache if it doesn't work.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds

I already did a hard refresh and cleared my cache. Here's what I narrowed it
down to. It appears that one of the pages in my watchlist is breaking the
JavaScript in my watchlist, which sounds crazy but it appears to be the case. I
have a second test account, which has an empty watchlist. I watched a few
pages, and Enhanced Recent Changes works fine there (with about five articles
in the watchlist). I then copied my own watchlist to the test account. Then the
JavaScript breaks on the watchlist. It also does not appear to be skin-related
because I tried Vector and it breaks there too. Gary King (talk · scripts)

It seems that any page that I have resolved feedback using the Article Feedback
Tool (it's the thing where new editor can comment on the quality of an article,
with a green smiley face, a red sad face, etc.), if I remove those pages from
my watchlist, then my watchlist JavaScript is fixed. Gary King (talk · scripts)

Okay I'm pretty sure I figured this out. This one page that I'm watching has
unmoderated comments (comments that are awaiting an action, such as hiding it).
Since this is the case, Wikipedia usually gives a message saying something like
"one of the pages you are watching have unmoderated comments". It seems that
this message, as of very recently (six hours ago or so), breaks the Watchlist's
JavaScript. I know this because moderating all comments or removing the page
from my watchlist fixes the Watchlist. I've already sent an email to hopefully
the right person with regards to the AFT. Gary King (talk · scripts) 19:24, 29
