It seems that the
extension already covers most of what was suggested here:

- A teacher or wiki-mentor could make a shared watchlist of their
  student's draft pages.
- An editathon organiser could create a shared watchlist of all the
  articles within the scope of the event.
- A wikiproject could create several shared watchlists to group related
  articles for members to more easily monitor.
- probably many other use-cases that might emerge...

Ah, does it. My understanding is that this has been considered feature bloat, to be removed in a rewrite of the extension. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editor_campaigns

If it works for you, however, it can hopefully scale. I suggest that you comment on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Gather to suggest they split the shared watchlist feature out of the Education extension


If this is the case why shall we have a new extension with the same
features?

Please have a look at this page which covers the features and use of the Ed
extension:

Also this learning pattern would help understanding how it works:

These are not appropriate places for documentation of a MediaWiki extension. Please move to the Help namespace of mediawiki.org.
