Watching the topic and first post a wiki used to work 👀 (I rely on that in some forums.)

I guess a workaround could be to fetch the edit with [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) and use the automation to post into a topic the users can watch.

Edit: Seems watching and wiki in OP still works.
