Wikiprojects use templates, too, so it is possible to monitor a set of pages related to the project. See the Military history project related changes list that is created from their navigation template. [1]

Although these types of resources are available, I think that they are under used for a variety of reasons. More on that later.

Blimey! Lots for me to see there. Thank you. I'll check those out later today or early afternoon tomorrow.

I've had a look at those links now. Thanks again. I'm slightly at a loss of how to use the information you've given in the context of the draft recommendation, other than simply to draw the board's attention to them and say "can we make (some of) these a part of a Mediawiki interface, so that they're given an easily accessible front end, rather than looking like workarounds".

I'll ponder it a bit more as I work on the draft recommendation.

What needs to happen is for the features to be packaged and then offered in a way that encourages there use. But since we don't fully understand the complexity of how these all interface on w:en:MediaWiki, we can give specific details about implementation. I think that we need to go with a recommendation/proposal that backs up the need with fact, and give a general overview of what we would like to see happen.
