Description

Author: jens

Description:
Currently, it is impossible to watch pages which do not exist. It would be nice
to put such pages on the watchlist without creating them.

Perhaps the page could be "virtually" created, getting a page ID, but with a
flag set signifying that it does not exist.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

You *can* watch pages that do not currently exist.

Ah, now I know why I did not find that option:

Enter "hgsdfh" in the search box in the en-wikipedia.
Press Go -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=hgsdfh&go=Go

The "Edit" link leads to the Edit page where is NO Watch link.

In the English Wikipedia, there is also a link to the (non-existing) article.

This link is missing in the German Wikipedia.

Maybe it could be added there as well?

-> Product/Component changed.

Changed summary to reflect the actual problem.

PHPTal skins (such as monobook) did not show the watch / unwatch tool.

This is fixed for the next 1.3.x version
