There is a configuration option to automatically watch all pages that
you edit or create.  I don't believe it is set by default.

What do you think about:

1. Making that setting on by default, and

2. Changing that setting to on in the database for all existing
   contributors?

Here's the thing -- we don't usually like changing defaults for
people, except where we change stuff all the time that is a default.
I think it's OK that we change that for people with existing accounts,
but would only want to do it where someone didn't already set another
value.  An example is the CSS -- we change it sitewide so all receive
it, but if someone is using a custom stylesheet, we don't change that,
too.
