I agree that lists is a bigger thing in Wikimedia world than many people
think, possibly because of lot of work on lists happens as homegrown
projects by caring volunteer editors. Various personal and group task
lists, backlogs[1], wikiprojects, list-based editathons, education
programs, Articles
Can I just agree with everything Brian just said?

Well, let's be honest. Whatever the theories behind it, these are content
pages, they aren't mini-watchlists or really anything even all that
technically related to the watchlist wishlist. Content belongs in a
content space. Whether it gets its own wikispace, or it uses userspace, is
sort of

I think the explicit schema will be brilliant when applied to collections,
it will facilitate linking tools and more. But would it make sense to
represent lists as a wikidata statements, as a compromise between native
SQL and wiki pages? We would gain the standard onwiki tools, a data

Its also unequivocally private. I think a lot of the conflict here comes
from the dual nature of gather as public/private.

DJ,
Let’s naturalize a few
Indeed. What about Gathering (which at least matches the name of the
extension) or Cluster - maybe even Compilation. Of course, there's the
problem of having two extensions doing similar things, which will create
problems when we have to come up with words in other languages, too.
Nonetheless,
If public 'lists' were serialised as real pages (true first class citizens)
all the usual functions would work, and if they were serialised as
wikitext, those pages would look remarkably like existing Collections.
