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: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Extension
Also this learning pattern would help understanding how it works: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns/Using_the_education...
These are not appropriate places for documentation of a MediaWiki extension. Please move to the Help namespace of mediawiki.org.
