Have "watch this page" include all subpages

Currently, it is necessary to put a watch on each subpage individually. This is less than ideal (particularly for works pages) for two reasons: one, it's rather tedious to have to add every single subpage individually, and two, if any subpages are added after you've initially added the pages, it's easy to miss that they exist and therefore never put them on your watchlist. Having the ability to add the main page and all subpages in one fell swoop to your watchlist, and have it automatically add any subpages which get created after the watch is initially added, would be nice.

Another option would be to have two options, "watch all" for a page and all subpages and "watch this page only" for those who really do just want the one page, so that people who aren't interested in watching all the subpages don't have to use the more comprehensive option.

I think I'd prefer to have an option where, when you click the "watch this" button, it gives you the option to select the subpages you want to watch, including an "all" option, rather than a blanket "watch all".

I'd want the option, not for the default to be "watch this and all subpages". For instance, I have a watch on the YMMV subpage the The Fairly Oddparents because of past shipping wars and rudeness on that page. I have little interest in The Fairly Oddparents, so I don't want to watch anything but the YMMV page.

I think that 's idea is that it'll list all pases on all namespaces, including Main/. By default, the page you're currently on is checked off. If you want, there can be a button that says "Check All", which will automagically check off every choice. You can only follow a single subpage if you want.

Also, support.
