: I think these will work. That whole script could do with a bit of cleanup, since you probably aren't using all of it's features.

::{{re|Guywan}} Wow :) Thank you, I was thinking I wasn't going to get a reply. Let's see if I can do this right (if you'd like I can put the script on a subpage, not sure if the author is maintaining it). Thanx again.

== A script to help build an "open tasks" list of things you'd like to monitor ==

Sometimes, when I throw out an idea on a more obscure talk page, there's no one around to see it and it gets lost (or, at a super busy talk page, there are too many competing discussions and it gets buried). When I make a post I fear this might happen to, I often add the page to my watchlist so I can follow up on it or send out invites if needed later, but this isn't fully optimal, since for obscure pages I might never get reminded to follow up if there's no other activity, and for busy pages it clogs up my watchlist. I'd love to have a userscript that I could use to easily build up a list of such discussions on a subpage of my user page.

I envision it working by allowing you to go into a mode on any page where you can click on a section, and it'll add a link to that discussion on your subpage. On the subpage itself, it'd allow you to easily move tasks between the open/active category and a "done" category for completed matters and a "abandoned" category for failed/not-worth-the-effort matters. Does anything like that exist, and if not would anyone be interested in taking this on? (I'm hoping this proposal doesn't itself become one of those things I forget about.)

:{{re|Sdkb}} Check out the scripts in [[WP:User scripts/List#Todo lists]]. I think ToDoLister does most of those things. [[User:SD0001|SD0001]] ([[User talk:SD0001|talk]]) 08:51, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
