Summary: Description of watchlist inaccurate

The current copy in the blank watchlist message, designed to educate users
about what a watchlist is for, current says...
"You are not currently watching any pages
Watch a page you have found interesting by clicking the star icon at the top of
the screen. This will allow you to bookmark pages of interest as well as see
when they have changed."
This copy needs two changes. First, there is a full stop missing at the end of
the first sentence. Second, calling watchlists a bookmarking service is
inaccurate. Watchlists are a list of changes to watched pages, and confusing
the concept with a bookmarking service is a disservice to users. The reason we
have the feature is not to keep a reading list.
I suggest we change the copy to something like what is in Help:Watching pages
on English Wikipedia, and try to keep it concise and focused on the core
purpose of watchlists. In total, that would be...
"You are not currently watching any pages.
Your watchlist shows you what's happening on pages you're interested in. Add a
page to your watchlist by clicking the star icon at the top of the screen."
