**Background:** I have conducted some basic tests on what happens to a temporarily watched item when the page is deleted. If the user select to watch the page via the checkbox (when deleting the page), it preserves the watch status with the half star (see screenshot example below), and the page can still be found in Edit:Watchlist. However, when I tried to restore the page, I saw the half star again but didn't see the clock icon in the watchlist. I'm also not sure what happens if another user deletes the page than the one watching the page.

2. Delete* If a page & choose to 'watch' in deletion
3. Notice that the page is stillis rolled back and automatically watched temporarily
4. Restore the page
5., You will see that the page is still beingand if a temporarily watched (but no clock icon in watchlist period was already selected, it seems?)the temporary selection should be preserved
