I don’t believe a mention has ever caused the person to start watching a topic.

Once upon a time when I was a customer, I suggested that as an option, but I’m pretty certain it never was done in any form: [Preference: Automatically Watch Topic when I am @mentioned, quoted, or invited](https://meta.discourse.org/t/preference-automatically-watch-topic-when-i-am-mentioned-quoted-or-invited/44602)
