Hi, thanks for the report. I'm the author of LanguageTool, I'll try to fix this. The problem is that in the moment we send you to Wikipedia, the checkbox that decides whether the page is to be watched is never set for some reason.

The problem is that we send the user directly to the diff view. There, we could use the 'wpWatchthis' parameter to set the value of the "watch" checkbox, but we cannot set a value that uses the user's setting. This happens only in Mediawiki's initialiseForm() method in EditPage.php. But it seems that method is never called when we enter the diff view directly. Maybe it helps to enter the preview instead of diff view, but that's one more step for the user then if they want to see the diff.

My conclusion is that there is no real fix. A fix would require people to log in for the tool, and/or it would slow down the checking. As a work-around I have added a warning about the status of the "Watch" checkbox.

LanguageTool Wikicheck has been shut down, see http://forum.languagetool.org/t/shutting-down-wikicheck/1098 . This is not directly an xTools issue, so I'm removing our tag.

If LanguageTool Wikicheck has been shut down then this ticket is not valid anymore, I'd say?
