At the moment, you can mark an article for later work in Suggestion. This uses a white star, and feedback from some users indicate that it may become confused with the watchlist concept.
This ticket proposes to replace the star with the bookmark icon instead. The bookmark icon is used in other places like New filters for edit review or to keep Wikipedia articles in lists on Wikipedia mobile apps.
| Star (current) | Bookmark (proposed) |
|---|---|
On the one hand, I think it is ok to apply a concept to different types of content. In the same way that the "X" can be used to close a dialog, close a panel, discard a suggestion, etc. So I think that we should not restrict the star to be only for watchlisted pages.
On the other hand, it is true that the star may imply that users will get updates about what they are starring, and the bookmark can align better.
I think we need to clarify which are the implications of each metaphors we are using to "keep" content, and make the different instances consistent.
