Translations:Manual:Watchlist table/2/en

MediaWiki works with the assumption that when people watch pages they either watch both the talk page and the normal page, or neither. That means that for each watched page MediaWiki always automatically adds two entries: One for the page and one for its talk page. E.g. when the user watches the Main Page, then there will be two rows in the database table: One for the Main Page in namespace 0 and one for the Main Page in namespace 1 (which is the according talk page). Missing page rows are added by the maintenance script update.php.
