This task is about implementing a way for contributors to opt-in/out of watching the talk page they are replying on //within// the workflow of replying to a specific comment.
Said differently: after this component is implemented, contributors should be able to put a talk page on their Watchlist [i] and to take a talk page off their Watchlist prior to publishing their reply to a specific comment.
=== Open questions
- [ ] How should this workflow behave once editing specific comments is implemented (T245225)? Should the "Watch page" affordance be visible
=== Done
- [ ] Contributors are able to put/take the talk page they are responding on, on/off their Watchlist from within the replying workflow
- [ ] When a contributor is responding on a talk page for the first time, the replying workflow's "Watch page" preference should inherit whatever preference is set in the "Watched pages" section of their Preferences [ii.]
