Add to list from work page

I can't remember if I've requested this before, but it's something I've been wanting for a while - just as it says, add to a list from the work page itself. It can be done on Rate Your Music with an entry - there's a button to click, your lists are displayed and you choose one from there. You can do it on RYM with any title even if you haven't catalogued it. It's pretty convenient and quick. It is limited to lists I've created, but we might not have to have that limitation here. I think it would be pretty handy.

Interesting, I'm curious if other members would find this helpful!

>3 kristilabrie: Probably not. I have too many work pages to even think of doing that apart from personal lists.

This would be great

I almost always open a work page when adding the work to a list, in order to review for purposes of my comment. (List item comments are still underused!) This feature would be handy.

>4 Maddz: I have no idea what you mean by having too many work pages. The idea is that you don't have to find a list first to be able to add to it because it would work both ways. Much like when you're on a list page, you can add works to it, being on a work page and thinking 'I'd like to add this to xy list' becomes equally streamlined, instead of the current convoluted process of first searching for the list, then on the list searching for the work, on whose page you were when you wanted to add it.

Some of us keep a wishlist and as a list, but beyond that any personal and favorited lists would suddenly become easier to add to it, especially if those from these 2 categories popped up as options without searching the rest of the lists. As it is, I keep a wishlist and add to interesting monthly lists, but that's pretty much it. It's too much of a pain when you come across a work you want to add to some list.

I don’t use lists often enough for it matter to me.

But I can understand why others might want it.

Well looks like there's some interest in it. Any thoughts on how it could be done?

>9 Bookmarque: A button to add to list/s, similar to Add Book green one. Preferably, the popup that opens when clicking it should come populated with lists you started or favorited.

ETA: also, unlike the Add Book one, this one would be useful regardless whether you have the book catalogued or not

Yes would be helpful. I almost always think of adding something to a list when on a work page.
