Show Abusefilter changes in watchlists

Problem: Currently, there is no way to monitor for changes to specific AbuseFilters without going directly to the filter itself and viewing the history of changes. They cannot be not shown in watchlists like other pages can.
Proposed solution: Show the Special:AbuseFilter/history on the user's Special:Watchlist like deletion, page move, etc.
Who would benefit: AbuseFilter managers

Unless it's possible to watch (virtual) special pages, this will need the epic task T227595: AbuseFilter's filters could be wiki pages done. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 09:14, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is going to be too big of a project for Community Tech, but it's a good idea nonetheless. I'm going to move it to our Larger suggestions category. I've also tweaked the wording of the proposal a bit to be more clear. Hope this okay, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 21:43, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
