Details

If watchlisted page was changed after it was visited:

  • history page: new edits are marked with "updated since your last visit"
  • watchlist: the page title is bolded

Also the watchlist has a message "Pages that have been changed since you last visited them are shown in bold." and a button "Mark all pages visited" that marks all entries as "visited".

If enabled, action=info will display the number of active watchers of the page based on $wgWatchersMaxAge.

Dependencies

If $wgEmailAuthentication is false, this setting is ignored.
