I'm going to disagree with Steven and Matt here and say that no, it shouldn't
be unwatchable.

Most of all, I can't think of a use-case for not watching your talk or user
page. Can anybody provide one?

But also, doing it this way would make it possible to stop tracking user talk
page edits in two different places (as mentioned in comments above), one for
talk notifications (user_newtalk table) and one for page edit notifications
(wl_notificationtimestamp field in watchlist table), and less code is always
better. (This might be a large-ish project to complete, though, so I won't
insist if somebody wants to make the situation better now and do it the other
way.)


> Should this feature apply to all MediaWiki wikis or just Wikimedia wikis?

Sounds perfectly fine for all of MediaWiki to me as well.
