This extension provides an API and frontend (in progress) through which users can manage private lists of articles, such as bookmarks or "Read Later" lists.
The extension is designed for use on wiki farms; it stores articles as domain name + title pairs, so that the list service can be setup on a single central wiki.
- Make sure you have installed MediaWiki
- Install ReadingLists using the instructions at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReadingLists
- Install BetaFeatures using the instructions at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BetaFeatures
- Configure the extension locally by editing LocalSettings.php to include the following:
$wgReadingListBetaFeature = true;
$wgReadingListsDeveloperMode = true;

$wgReadingListAndroidAppDownloadLink = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia&referrer=utm_source%3DreadingListsShare";
$wgReadingListiOSAppDownloadLink = "https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id324715238?pt=208305&ct=readingListsShare";
- Navigate to your MediaWiki installation and login to your account.
