Right... in the January 2015 thread you linked, it was quickly pointed out that Extension:Collection already exists. The mobile team, in typical form, decided to ignore any previous work and instead make its own project. At least we were able to shout loudly enough to stop this functionality from being part of the MobileFrontend extension. >This is a new experiment in content curation, which hopefully helps with >learning new users behavior on mobile web. We are looking forward to >learning awesome lessons from this beta launch. As was also previously pointed out, we've had curation support for a long time in the form of categories (another feature that could have been improved rather than making a new extension). Or making a list of pages using wikilinks. Or tagging pages with templates, which auto-generates an index. Perhaps you can explain why this new feature is limited to mobile?
