It'd be nice if we had a bot-friendly way of determining whether a page is watched. A convenient place to put this would be in action=query&prop=info , e.g. <page pageid="11791" ns="0" title="Main Page" touched="2008-03-15T04:27:15Z" lastrevid="44070" counter="0" length="2998" watched="" /> or, for unwatched pages: <page pageid="11791" ns="0" title="Main Page" touched="2008-03-15T04:27:15Z" lastrevid="44070" counter="0" length="2998" />
Note that this is considered private information cf. Special:UnwatchedPages.
What do you mean by "is watched"? That it's watched by *someone* (private info, like Bryan said), or that it's watched by *you*?
Closing by lack of response. If you're interested and/or can provide a more clear answer to #2 , please reopen.
