Description:
This is a feature request to essentially put every article in a category to the
user's watch list.

It is a common practice to watch similar articles anyway, this feature should be
able to put articles on a user watch list when they get listed in a category
that was selected by the user.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
