Details

STR:

1. Log in
2. Go to https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS
3. Click "Watch"

Expected Results:

You're allowed to watch the page (not sure the resulting UI, etc.)

Actual Results:

[16:36:32.652] GET https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS$watch [HTTP/1.1 405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED 160ms]
This 405 is happening because the request is a GET (done via a basic link) and, for some reason, the definition is requiring it be a POST.  Removing the POST requirement, however, does not fix the problem. ;(
high priority, could be moved to post-launch if writers/editors concur
I would say we could bump this out of the launch, but only if we remove the button.
Opened bug 773924 about (potentially) disabling it to save time before launch, and renamed this bug to fix and restore it later.
Summary: Trying to watch a page while logged in throws a 405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED exception → Fix and restore broken "Watch" feature, which does not work when a user is logged out
Priority: -- → P2
Version: Kuma → unspecified
Component: Docs Platform → Editing
Even just having an RSS feed for each page would be awesome...  In fact, better than most watch features, for my purposes.
Going to mark this as a dupe of bug 842340. This is older, but bug 842340 has more detail.
