This task proposes a new view that enables people to see, and potentially refer back to, the pages they visited during a specific "session." [i]
The core of this proposal is about enabling people who visit/read Wikipedia to more clearly see and remember the time they spend here and the impact that time has on them. //E.g. Do you remember learning something new? Do you remember being inspired? Do you remember the moment where decided to go to your library’s website and borrow a book? etc.//
=== Stories
As someone who regularly reads Wikipedia and finds themselves traveling down/through [rabbit holes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_hole), I want to be able to more easily remember what I thought about/felt/did during these moments, so that I can more easily:
1) Refer back to a page I visited and have since forgotten the name of
2) Learn about and understand myself by seeing and making sense of the paths/lines of curiosities I've followed over time [ii]
=== Open Questions/Provocations
- [ ] 1. When might people visit the page/place this task is suggesting we create?
- [ ] 2. How might this page provide to people who visit and use Wikipedia differently? //E.g. People who visit Wikipedia intermittently (every few days/weeks/months). People who visit Wikipedia with specific learning objectives in mind (they are doing a research for a paper/report/etc.)?//
- [ ] 3. What new possibilities / opportunities could this page/place create? //E.g. Might this be a place to read content related to what you'd previously explored, but had not yet discovered?//
=== Background
This idea is inspired, in part, by work the Wikipedia iOS app, Google Chrome (chrome://history/journeys), Apple Photos, Google Photos, etc. are doing to help people store/make memories within these tools/services

i. TBD what "session" would need to means in this particular context for people to perceive the pages they visit within each to stand out in their minds as a cogent memory
ii. A bit deep, I know! Tho, this is true of my experience and maybe others'?
