Gee I hate ''The Watch''! Does it deserve references here beyond its own page acknowledging its existence?

:I mean, it's a related work and people are going to want to know more about it; I don't like the idea of trying to put everything relevant on that one page. But if the consensus is it's not wanted here, fair enough and I'll stop adding info about it.

I've just been re-reading The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents. On page 140, there is a dialogue:
The youngest member of the Trap Disposal Squad was trailing after Sardines. She was wet and dejected. "you look like a drowned rat, miss" said Darktan. "Fell in a broken drain, sir." said Nourishing.
Is it me, or in manner, attitude and experience, does Nourishing come over as a rat version of Jocasta Wiggs? As The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents was published a few years before Night Watch, this could be the genesis of Jocasta...AgProv (talk) 07:13, 30 December 2012 (PST)
