Description

From that idea.

Problem
At the moment, it is not possible filter pages on a watchlist by a personal key: article I'm working on now, community pages about sport, pictures that I have changed the description...

Possible solution
Have a way to tag pages added to the watchlist with some personal tags. Those tags are unique to the user and would complete other filtering options very well. Users can then filter by personal tags (and categories, namespaces type of edits... by potentially excluding them (T174349)) and save those filtered queries.

This would also solve the need of T3492: Multiple watchlists, a community whishlist item in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

This is related to T3492. In fact, it is my preferred solution (there should be one watchlist, not multiple watchllists).

There is discussion regarding tags for watched items in T124752 from roughly T124752#1998193 onward.
That discussion was relating to watched items having an expiry time.
