Mini 433 modded by Shea, in which I had that role. Only time I've had watcher of either description. The other one, at least back in the day, was called nightwatchman.

It's just what the mod preffered to pick. They're both perfectly fine roles.

It isn't used nearly as regularly - "Watcher" virtually
always
means they know who targetted their target. That's why I said that's the "standard" version, it's not a value judgment on either role.

I voted 2, but I meant 1. I'm surprised that article has been incorrect for so long.

What the wiki said was what watcher had been considered to be, as far as i can make out, since the founding of the site (i actually read old games to confirm this). That a bunch of people came along and tried to redefine the role does not render the wiki 'wrong.'

And yes, I know i'm in a minority of one here.
Fair enough. I checked and it did include the 'variation' before Stoof edited it.
Also, happy scumday.
