Editing Help:Watchlist (section)

=== Limitations ===
* '''Special pages''': It is not possible to watch automatically generated pages, such as [[Help:Special page|Special pages]].
* {{anchor|page categorization}}'''Category membership''': Watching a [[Wikipedia:Categorization|category]] page will pick up changes to the text of the category page itself. If "Hide categorization of pages" is disabled at {{Section link|Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist}}, or "page categorization" is unchecked after "Hide:" on the watchlist, then it will also show pages being added or removed from the category. However, it will not report changes to subcategories or member pages contained in the category.
* '''Transcluded text''': When a watched page contains transcluded text, such as [[Help:Template|templates]], the form of the page may change as a result of changes to the transcluded pages. These changes will not show up on your watchlist unless you are watching the transcluded pages as well.
* '''Sections''': It is not possible to watch just a part or section of a page. However, for talk pages, it is possible, though not through the watchlist, to subscribe to receive [[Wikipedia:Talk pages project#Notifications for topic subscriptions|notifications for changes to sections]].
* '''Other wikis''': It is not possible to receive watchlist notices on the English Wikipedia for changes made to pages watchlisted on other Wikipedia languages or Wikimedia wikis. See [[Wikipedia:Global watchlist]] for work on this.
