If I go to a page such as
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Example
and click on watch I always get
"An error occurred while changing your watchlist settings for "[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Example]]"."
I don't remember seing this on MW 1.18.
Version: 1.19
Severity: normal
URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Example

proposed patch
AJAX watching did not work on Special:MovePage and Special:WhatLinksHere
because the API requests would contain the name of the special page
instead of a wiki page's name; adding a configuration variable with that
information (and using it when watching pages via AJAX) can fix this problem.
At least in Wikimedia's case, logged-in users (who are the only users able
to watch pages) bypass the Squid cache, so using the newly introduced
variable should not pose a problem.

proposed patch
Fixing my patch. MediaWiki still sends 304 Not Modified headers, so the JavaScript would still have to fall back to wgPageName if necessary.
