Description

Wikimedia project participation is not only about editing pages "on the fly", but also about planning work and collaboration between editors. Many users on their subpages or on subpages of wikiprojects create various lists and summaries of pages that need fixing. Also, many users probably have dozens or even hundreds of bookmarks in their browsers with saved Wikimedia project pages that have been "saved for later" to be improved or corrected.

While the Watchlist allows us to keep up with changes to such pages, it does not provide any way to manage what we have planned to do with them. For this reason, a built-in extension that allows us to add specific pages to a "to-do list" would fill this gap. Each page could be added to such a "to-do list" with a short comment describing what we intend to fix on that page. Additionally, marking a given task on the list as "public" could simultaneously be displayed in the view of the given article or page, so that other editors can see that someone else is interested in the page and has plans to fix it.
