Special:Gather page (Collections) allows its user to edit it in Mobile Beta, but not in Desktop!
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

I have been editing a Collection, A collection by Thnidu: Contributions to watch, on my smartphone, in the Mobile Beta Frontend, with no difficulty. I go to "My Collections" (Special:Gather/by/Thnidu), make sure "My collections" is selected at the top of the page, click "Contributions to Watch", and click the Edit button.

But when I do the same in the Desktop Frontend, there's no Edit button or tab on Contributions to Watch. And when I hover the cursor over the "Special page" tab, the hovertext says "This is a special page which you cannot edit."

Helluva thing to call a collection.

yeh apologies for this! We have a task to do this.

We limited this experiment to beta on mobile to start with to test the idea out on a limited audience. We're currently number crunching data before making it work on desktop via beta features but unfortunately there is no plans to do this any time soon. @Moushira where's the best place we can capture @Thnidu's thoughts / request for a desktop version?

:-( Oh, well, at least I know it's being worked on, or at least thought about. Thanks for the update.
