As I'm catching up with Legion fishing achievements, I wanted an easy way to see if any WQs are up for this one that I hadn't already completed. Because the Lively/Huge achievement credit are tallied differently, this was impossible to cram into a single macro, but I managed to do it in two. Each line fits in one macro, so you can run the first, then the second or use an addon like Paste.

/run function Q(r,s,t) f=0 C_QuestLog.RemoveWorldQuestWatch(s) if not t then if C_QuestLog.AddWorldQuestWatch(s) then print(r) f=1 end end return f>0 end w={{7,16,17},{16,8,9},{1,2,3},{2,14,15},{17,20,21},{-19,0,1},{11,6,7},{-20,13},{12,18,19},{6,4,5}}
/run o=0 j=1 for i=1,24 do n,_,c,_,_,_,_,q=GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(10598,i) if q==0 then for k=1,#w[j] do o=Q(n,w[j][k]-(k==1 and 1 or 0)*333+41596,c) or o end j=j+1 else o=Q(n,q,c) or o end end if o==0 then print('No WQ') end

The first two line is just "setup" and doesn't display anything--it only defines a function and a variable that the "main" macro needs. You'll have to run the first line once in any play session, then the second, "main" macro should work like this: If any new world quest is up, it'll track it and print the name in the chat window, otherwise it'll just print "No WQ".

9.0 Edit: With 9.0 making the WorldQuestWatch functions longer, I had to reword the quest IDs to compress them further, but it seems like it still could fit in 2 lines!
9.0.2 Edit: As pointed out by @gabbest there was a bug in the first 9.0 fix, which turned out to be a tiny mistake (a + should've been a -). It was causing false negative (wrong WQ IDs) for 1/3 of the Lively/Huge quests, one of which I ran into today. That should be fixed now and the macro should be fine, at least until the next quest API change.
