You certainly can achieve some of this functionality by adding articles to a collection and saving the collection as a subpage of the user page of the logged-in user. I'm not so sure about making these pages "private" though: Is it possible in MediaWiki to restrict user pages (or specific subpages thereof) to the respective user at all? If it is possible, it should be a configuration of the MediaWiki installation itself, not one of the Collection extension. > The above mechanism -- does that describe anywhere near what MW > Collection does?

The main purpose of the collections created with the Collection extension is to download PDFs, OpenOffice Text documents or documents in other formats, or to order a printed book. This could be quite interesting for the users of your wiki, too? But the Collection extension also includes the feature to save and load collections (they're saved as vanilla wiki pages either under User:Foo or in a configurable namespace, which can also be the main namespace). > Could it be made to work in the above mentioned manner?
