We used to be very good at this, one challenge has been the way
MediaWiki stops sending page change updates if you don't keep a tight
watch on it.
If you put pages on your personal watchlist, you will always receive
notices when someone other than you edits the page, IIRC.
Perhaps it's time to ...
* Review the beat watch process
* Teach wider how to watch a beat for content grooming
Another idea is to organize a regular beat grooming sessions in IRC,
along the model of the QA test days.
Regardless of the watchlist details, these are good ideas!
