Thanks Vincent.
I just want to quote Marius about the fact it's a pain to click on some
menus to see the state of the watchlist:
Watching a page is not like the rest of the actions. It has a **state**.

As I said I’m not against notification icons. I even think we need them (I can think of
Warning icons of admins when the rendering of a page contains errors for example too).
But I definitely don’t agree about crowding the UI to
add specific watch/unwatch action buttons. They should go in the menu actions.
Thanks
