A public watchlist is a tool for monitoring changes to a certain list of articles. It is comparable to the personal watchlist to which all registered Wikipedia users get access when they create an account. For information about personal watchlists, see Help:Watching pages.
There is no software infrastructure designed on Wikipedia to make a public watchlist. This page gives instructions for a workaround which replicates this functionality to the best extent possible with a reasonable effort.
