I have a few different wanted lists, and I am often building wanted lists that
I am not quite ready for yet. It would be very useful if there was a setting
on those lists that could be set like 'hidden' or 'active' or
something similar that would allow me to keep certain lists from being checked
by default when browsing stores and similar. Basically, making the wanted list
not effect views in other areas of the platform until I'm ready for it and
'activate' it or turn it on.

There is already that function, when searching you can check which lists you
want to search for.

It might only be available in the classic mode?

As with many quality of life improvements, yes, there is incomplete functionality
half built around this. However, if you have more than just a few wanted lists
and you regularly browse stores, especially by wanted list, you have to go and
turn off each wanted list individually in every story that you use. It's
a pain and a mess, and being able to deactivate each wanted list at the source
would be a major QOL improvement for me, at least.

I have a "Wanted List" which is actually where I move my other wanted lists'
items once I've ordered them, so I'd really appreciate to be able to
disable this list when browsing stores.

That is actually a really good idea! I usually end up deleting things out of
my wanted list/deleting the lists when I'm done, but it would also be interesting
to me to keep a record of my wanted lists for future checking, and I had never
thought of doing that before! Definitely agree that turning it off for browsing
stores would be a must though.
