> Highlight for what reason?

There's a link to the number of watchers from &action=history on many wikis.
This goes to a page such as
<https://toolserver.org/~mzmcbride/watcher/?db=enwiki_p&titles=Apple+Inc.>
currently, where there's a lot of signal and little noise and it's easy to see
the value that the user is interested in (because it's nearly the only
information on the page).

Compare to
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apple_Inc.&action=info##Basic_information>,
which is the most targeted a link can be currently from &action=history (yes,
two ##...). With this link, the target (the number of page watchers) gets lost
after the user visits the info page. Highlighting that specific table row when
there's an ID of #mw-info-page-watchers or similar would be a nice improvement,
I think. This could be done with local CSS on wikis such as the English
Wikipedia and Meta-Wiki. However, no highlighting or more specific targeting
can take place with the current HTML structure, as far as I'm aware.

I'm only interested in highlighting the watchers row.
