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, those are some suggestions for English.

I haven't checked but given its implemented as a special page i doubt Risker's cu concerns are addressed. Edits to lists do not appear in contribs on beta site.

I hereby nominate "collections". Describes it well and, at least to my
ear, helps convey a bit of the notion that it's a personal thing.

Hi Jon -
These look interesting, and I'm sure some people will enjoy them a lot. From my perspective as a oversighter and checkuser, as long as I'm able
to
suppress information on the page, and the "edits" to the page show up in the contributions tables that are available for checkusers for review,
I'm
perfectly fine with these "pages". (Note - I've already thought of multiple reasons that we'd wind up needing to suppress information on
these
pages, not to mention half a dozen ways that the pages could be used inappropriately that could lead to checkusering -- just like any other
page
on Wikipedia. They don't need a different level of scrutiny, just the
same
level as everywhere else.) Admins being able to delete the page isn't enough, so please ensure that these are fully tested. I'll be happy to work with you on that.
On the other hand, I think it would be a net positive if everyone stops calling these pages "lists". Lists are a specific type of content that
has
existed on Wikipedia practically since its inception; projects have guidelines and sometimes even policies on their creation, use and
format.
Thousands of users have had their own personal lists in their userspace
for
pretty much the entire history of the project, too. Thus, the subject
line
of this thread is inaccurate: Lists have pretty much always been first class citizens on Wikipedia projects. This new extension does not create lists in the Wikipedia sense, it creates a collection of article thumbnails. Calling these new "pages" lists as well, even if just
talking
in the vernacular, will be confusing.
So...please give some further thought to what to call these pages that doesn't use a term that is already well-understood to mean something entirely different. From my perspective, the idea (and the execution)
is
fine.
