How can I set up automatic notification whenever data that I've added to OSM is changed?

Where in my profile i can adjust that i receive an automatically created news from openstreetmap when someone edited datas where i worked on. Thanks.

Let's gather a list of current options (feel free to edit this answer):

whodidit has a nice interface, but might miss changesets if they only touch relations for example.
osm filter (see Malenki's answer) uses heuristics to weed out uninteresting changesets, but the heuristics have false-positives.
ITO world is usefull too, but it requires a login and can be a bit hard to navigate for our purpose.
osm.org's history tab suffers from worldwide edits that get included when they shouldn't.
OWL (see Richard's answer) is the traditional tool, currently offline but should come back.
The new history tab doesn't yet do notification, but its backend should allow for that, and it is slated to become the new official change-notification service.
The newest active osm feed shows new contributors, who often make a few mistakes when they start.
osm qa feeds helps create rss feeds for many tools

All those tools work by letting you subscribe to a RSS feed. The wiki also has a list of monitoring tools.

It appears these tools let you know what's changed in your area of interest. Are there any tools that notify me only when a feature I've touched is edited?

Here you can drop the link of the osm.org history page of the area you want to monitor. The result is a RSS-feed without the big changesets bots and some mappers cause.

I know this is an old thread, but this does not work for me. I paste the url of the history page but when clicking the "GetFiltered RSS URL" button I always get the message "Could not fetch requested URL".

Currently you best bet is likely to use OSMCha
