:I dunno, for me it’d be cool to have a few “lists” like on Twitter. For example, I come across a lot of borderline spammers via NAB. After coaching them, I’d like to have an easy to follow up to see if they got it, or if they’re being spammy. Instead of going and individually checking each page history, it’d be cool if there was a spot where all their contributions were bundled up in one place, and I could scan them easily. I’d also love the ability to look make a list of people who write awesome articles. For example I really like Dvortygirl’s articles, but I never see whether she published or rewrote a new one unless I go to her page regularly and check her contributions or something. Which is inconvenient and, well, a little weird? But if I had a “favorite authors” list I could check that regularly and see any new writings by the people whose articles I really dig

I like this idea, esp for admin, but then i would like to have it that only that person can acces it and not anybody else otherwise it could end up as a popularity contest.
I personally don’t need it at this time, but I support it in favour of others wishing to follow other users. I’d like to see the lists be private (people only know who you follow if you tell them)

Agree with Bokehmon. Also, it’s not an essential feature for me, but if there’s a lot of support, then it’d be fine.
Yes I think the privacy thing should be applied, otherwise it might turn out like Twitter. “I have so-and-so followers etc.”

That would be wonderful. I think it might be something to be brought in as an ability for admins and maybe boosters. I think it would be incredibly useful, because I often want to follow the contributions of a user whom I have seen vandalizing, which requires the repeated refreshing of their contribs page. Not an elegant solution. This would be much better, allowing us to watch editors in the same way we watch pages.
Yes, exactly what I had in mind. If there’s a user, it’ll be easier to keep track of their contribs as well, so it will kinda go both ways: #1
we can keep tabs on questionable editors #2
we can keep up with the editors we love.
I agree with the privacy feature part but Im not a big fan
