If we need to change this to a feature request, be > bold. :) To implement this, I suppose there are two ways to do it, depending on whether you want this to be unconditional. The first way would be hacking this into Special:Watchlist (around where it retrieves a user's watched pages, you'd just unconditionally add these two pages to look up). The second way would be to hook into the new account creation process and automatically create these rows in the watchlist table for each new user. This method allows users to opt out of watching their own pages. You'd also need a maintenance script to update existing users. Broadly, I think this feature request is fine (I think it makes sense to auto-watch your own user/user talk page), but there seem to be two open questions: Should watching your own user/user talk pages be non-optional (i.e., do we want to retain the ability to unwatch your own user/user talk page)? Should this feature apply to all MediaWiki wikis or just Wikimedia wikis? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
