Wikipedia Watchlist Extension

Wikipedia Watchlist checks your watchlist and updates the badge on the browser action icon to reflect new changes. Clicking on the badge opens up a popup where you can highlight different changes to view their edit summaries. Clicking the little 'd' will take you to the last difference for the page and clicking the page name will take you to the page itself.

Comments are greatly appreciated. Please let me know what you think.
