Please add the ability to watch all pages in a certain namespace. On wikibooks, when we start giving certain books (e.g. the Cookbook) a proper namespace, it will be beneficial to allow contributors to have a watchlist that shows changes to all pages within the namespace. This is useful because a contributor to a wikibook is generally only interested in the book they are working on, plus a few top-level project pages. Additionally watching a regex defined name would work quite well, especially for false namespaces (as "Cookbook:" is now on wikibooks), such that a user could watch "Cookbook:*"

Just as reminder for Kellen, who filed this bugzilla 3164: Kellen: please try my Enotif (see http://www.enotifwiki.org , which did not yet have this Regex-watch, but _new_ page. An amendment to watch a certain namespace is easy to implement (if someone ask for that expressly, I can add such a feature in EnotifWiki) Tom
Hallo! This feature would allow sysops of smaller wikis to follow the changes of MediaWiki messages at "more active wiki's". It would allow a transfer of knowledge between sister projects and also between projects in other languages. For the WikiMedia foundation it would reduce the amount of time a change "propagates" trough the set of wiki's. regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
You *can* show all edits in a particular namespace; this is a feature of recent changes itself. Observe, for instance, the watchlist for the User namespace on the English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ARecentchanges&namespace=2
Which makes this FIXED in, hmm, r8841.
So you're saying that Watchlisting namespace X == Recentchanges namespace X Watchlisting would still be better since it provides an integrated interface, but if the functionality is there, I suppose that's better than not.
