Add AbuseFilters to Watchlist
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Is it possible to add an edit filter to one's watchlist? Specifically, on the English Wikipedia I wanted to watch changes to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/1. It has a history page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/history/1), but I couldn't find how to track those changes without visiting the page when I was curious.

I think it is theoretically possible. The same mechanism that StructuredDiscussions uses to inject rows into the watchlist can be also used by AbuseFilter. We would have to figure out how much demand there is for this though. At this point, I categorize it as a "nice to have" feature, hence the Lowest priority.
