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.
