There is no user preference to automatically watch talk pages edited.

Description

Author: beep021

Description:
There should be a preference at "Special:Preferences" that allows a user to have the "Watch this page" button automatically checked when editing discussion pages similar to the "Add pages I create to my watchlist" preference. It would also need to have talk pages edited through the API automatically watched if the watchlist parameter is set to "preferences." This would be useful in the case that one would like to know who replies to his comments.
