--- Comment #1 from Matthias Mullie <[email protected]> ---
I'm afraid this probably won't come any time soon: the watchlist feature is
problematic by design.
Special:ArticleFeedbackv5Watchlist is for now disabled on enwiki/frwiki (and
may, once feedback size grows, at some point also be disabled on dewiki)

The problem is that users (can and do) have so much watchlisted articles, that
it becomes impossible to use an index to retrieve all data (resulting in
expensive queries to fetch data). Caching is also no viable alternative, since
they're unique per-user.

The idea behind this feature is great, but for technical reasons is not
currently viable. We'll first need to come up with a solution for the existing
AFTv5 watchlist; which will require changes in MW watchlist feature.
If/once that has been done, it would definitely make sense to bring this up
again!
