Hello Research,

It it possible to query for the watchers of a page? It does not seem to be in 
the API, nor is the "watchers" or "wl_user" table in the Data Base replicas 
(where I thought MediaWiki stores it. I imagine this is for privacy reasons, 
correct? If so, how would one gain access?

I have been talking with an "econophysicist" who thinks that we could apply a 
"contagion" algorithm, to see which edits are "contagious".  (I met this 
econopyhicist at the Berkeley Data Science Faire at which Wikimedia Analytics 
presented, so it was worth it in the end).
