I agree that it can be confusing next to the featured article star, though
Firefox and other programs use the star icon for watching/bookmarking pages, so
it's a toss-up.

I've never heard of anyone being confused about the term "watchlist." You
aren't favoriting a user talk page or a noticeboard, you're adding them to a
