###User stories:
As an event organizer, I want to add a worklist for my event, so that prospective and active participants now that we will focus on and so that all articles within the worklist can be included in collaborative contribution tracking for the event.
As an event participant, I want to know which articles will be included in the event, so that I can begin participating in the event without needing much instruction/blockers and so that my edits can be tracked with greater ease and less effort on my part.
As an event participant, I want to be able to add articles to the worklist of the event (if permitted by the organizer), so that I can also take part in the event development and edit tracking.
###Background:
Some WikiProjects, communities, or events have defined worklists for their collaborative activities. For example:
* [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_improvement | WikiProject Articles for Improvement ]] on English Wikipedia: They will have an article to improve for the week.
* [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Redlist_index | WikiProject Women in Red ]] on English Wikipedia: Has a long list of redlinks (generated from Wikidata items) on articles to create that have not been created yet.
If we allow organizers (and sometimes other editors/participants) to add a worklist to an event, then perhaps we can allow automatic tracking of participant edits to those articles. This could be another way to track edits, on top of the dialog after an edit is published and the dropdown within the edit summary. The idea is that, with more tracking options available, we're more likely to have more accurate data, since it can capture the different ways that people edit collaboratively.
In this sense, the work is a bit related to T400196. We are allowing ways for organizers and participants to further customize how the data is tracked.
###How worklist configuration could work:
* Organizer has the option to add a worklist to an event
* Organizer has the option to decide who can add articles/wikidata items to worklist, with options including:
** Only organizers of the event
** Only organizers and participants of the event
** All editors
* Worklist can accept following formats:
** Wikidata item
** Link to article/page
* Worklist probably needs a maximum number of links/characters
###How all editors can add items to a worklist:
Maybe we can allow organizers to input a link to an editable wiki page with a worklist, if they want to allow anyone to edit the worklist. See details on how LPL handles worklists for its Community Lists feature below.
Or we can pull up a simplified version of Special:EditEventRegistration that only shows the worklist section (and editors can only add entries, but not remove them).
If they want to create a closed worklist, maybe they just input the worklist data as part of the event registration configuration process.
###How worklist tracking could work:
* If someone who is registered for the event, and they are on a wiki of the event, and if they are editing an article on the worklist, that edit would be associated with event by default in the edit summary (with the dropdown). No effort would be needed on the editor's part to make the association - only if they want to remove the association.
###Integration with other tools & workflows:
* [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Translation_suggestions:_Topic-based_%26_Community-defined_lists/How_to_use_the_features | Community Defined Lists ]], created by Language & Product Localization: Users can create worklists based on wikidata items, and then they add they HTML markers (<page-collection> and </page-collection>) to indicate that it is a worklist. Everything that is a valid wikilink to a mainspace article will be picked up as an article that is part of the page collection. That can be en:Cat, fr:Chat, or d:Q405, all valid. Lists of wikidata items is by far the most common usage.See [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_including_a_page_collection | Category:Pages including a page collection ]] for all pages on Meta-Wiki with collections.
