This is a easy request to fulfill... except for the translation issue. Do
you just mean English? Or the larger versions across languages? I can do an
English watchlist notice on our larger projects, but have never gotten
these translated before. Feel free to advise off-list.

I'll go ahead and charge forward with an English-language watchlist notice
to run at least a week before the change is live on most Wikimedia
projects. Erica, Jan, and others who do outreach to non-English communities
may be able to help as well.
