You can add mix pages, charts, files and categories as favorites. This works pretty much like the watchlist.

Links to pages in your favorites will have a icon behind them.

They're pretty handy on MixesDB:Explorer and when you want to follow categories.

When a page is in your favorites it is highlighted as such, e.g. by an optional icon next to it:

On category pages you can explore your favorites directly via

You can add every kind of page to your favorites. Favorited pages are highlighted with an icon (customizable).

Add categories to your favorites and show new mixes of them on the Main Page ("Favorite cats").

On MixesDB:Explorer/Mixes pages you can also use "all mix pages in my favorite categories" and sort by creation date.

On Special:Favoritelist you can list and manage your favorites.

Show others what you like

By default your favorites are private and nobody will know who has what in his favorites. If you want to share your favorites with others you can do so on your user page (or a subpage) using the favorites tag: <favorites />.

== My favorites ==

<favorites />

Separate namespaces

You can also sepereate your favorites into lists per namespace using ns="".

To list your favorite mixes and categories you could use:

== My favorite categories ==

<favorites ns="Category" />

== My favorite mixes ==

<favorites ns="Mixes" />

All namespaces that make sense:

  • ns="Mixes"
  • ns="Chart"
  • ns="Category"

Switch order

You can also switch the order of the lists using sort="".

Sort title descending

Sort the title descending (Z-0), e.g. freshest mixes on top:

<favorites ns="Mixes" sort="descending" />

Set a limit

To display only a certain ammout of mixes you can add max="".

To display the freshest 25 mixes in your favorites you would use:

<favorites ns="Mixes" order="descending" max="25" />
