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. KWW

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.
