I hope the title will link to the main page ([[Community Wishlist/W...]]) when the list item is about a subpage, talk page, etc. I made my script do this and I've found it useful.

Couldn't that be adverse to patrollers? The linked page should be the page that was actually changed, I think. I was nervous even showing the wish titles in recent changes.

As a patroller scanning titles on recent changes, at quick glance you'll see the wish titles stand out as if they were actual titles. The descriptive and sometimes lengthy names may appear like vandalism or nonsense pages. This isn't a problem on Wikidata because most of the editing is done to entities, so recent changes patrollers are used to going by labels and not page titles there. It's possible to only show the wish titles for watched pages. I was considering doing that, depending on how reception goes. Patrollers may only care about the actual title, while page watchers would more likely prefer the entity title.

We also need to keep in mind the extension may eventually be used on other more content-focused wikis, so the aforementioned problem may become more pronounced. If it comes down to it, we could introduce a preference or something.

The primary use cases for me are /Votes and Talk: pages, as changes to the wishes themselves are usually less frequent and the diff will immediately reveal what it's about, whereas votes and talks typically reference the subject only obliquely.

To your point, it might be a good idea to make it an opt-in. That way Meta patrollers who are not interested in the wishlist won't be confused, but those who are can then both patrol and participate in wishes with more ease.
