Summary: Tools for readers: bookmarks, suggestions
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: easy
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown

Wikipedia accounts provide many excellent editor tools. Wikipedia accounts do
not provide some important benefits for users that are strictly readers (rather
than frequent editors). I am suggesting some options that should be implemented
and advertised as reasons to get a Wikipedia account, even if you are mostly
just a reader.
- I'm still curious (basically an in-wiki bookmark list of articles the reader
wants to read later, an important feature when you find yourself opening dozens
of tabs and internal links)
- You might like... (provides users with other pages they might not know to
read. This could be accomplished, for example, by keeping track of the
categories of the pages they visit and showing new/popular pages in that same
category)
These are just some browsing/reading tools that could motivate users to get
Wikipedia accounts in the first place.
