Description Silas S. Brown 2012-10-12 15:49:26 UTC 
As it is possible to edit only a single section, it would be nice to watch only a single section.

I have often been unable to cope with having a large frequently-changing article on my watchlist, whereas I might be able to watch one small section of it (whichever section is the most interesting for me, or whichever section I contributed to), and it would be nice to have the option of watching only that section.  Even if the instructions say it should be used as a last resort (as watching a whole article is contributing more), I think somebody who watches one section is contributing more than if they were so overwhelmed as to not watch the article at all.
