Wikipedia Category Watchlist is a web tool that allows users to watch additions and removals of pages to categories of Wikimedia wikis. Special:Watchlist isn't able to do this currently. It has a web interface and an XML feed.

If you need any help, find a bug or like to change this application in any way, please, let me know on the talk page.

First steps

 * 1) Go to http://svick.org/CatWatch.aspx.
 * 2) You are going to create a list of the categories you want to watch. Think of a name for this list and enter it there. You may use for example your user name.
 * 3) Click “Edit this list”.
 * 4) Enter the name of one of the categories you want to watch, select to which wiki it belongs from the drop-down lists and click “Add category to list”. You can repeat this as many times as you want.
 * 5) Click “Back to list details”.
 * 6) From now on, all changes of categories you entered in step 4 will show there. Be patient, the changes won't show up immediately.

Deleting a list
Lists that aren't used for a month are automatically deleted.

XML feed
XML feed is available at http://svick.org/CatWatch.aspx/XmlList. This is intended for use by other tools, normal users won't need it. For more information, see the XML feed documentation.
