Oh well, I didn't exactly put the wish list function to good use until recently. It's the whole searching all-over-again thing that bugs me so I wishlist them to keep track. I only have about 42 titles so I don't bother.

I sort my reading list by priority with manga currently being scanlated that I've read up to date at the top, and series I plan to read later at the bottom.
I think that is exactly how you should use your wish list. I do the same, and it's been very useful. For example, I'm a fan of Hanamizawa Q-Taro and have all his unscanlated works on the wish list. So when MBT started doing Shiroi Gekkou, it showed up on the releases page with a yellow exclamation point next to it. Without that, I might have missed the fact that it was being scanlated.

I probably don't use my wish list as intended. It's full of stuff that I wish was being scanslated but isn't (usually stuff from authors or magazines I've enjoyed other works from but sometimes just random stuff with yuri and ecchi tags).

It's like this, i dump anything that i want to read later or find interesting and then put it in my wish list. It's kinda of a pain to try to remember what i wanted to read again or to search for them.

My reading list is things that I currently translate or have decided to translate in the future. (along with some stuff that my girlfriend wants flagged so she can read it... as we share a computer a lot of the time).
Wish list is basically my list of things that I may want to translate but either haven't had a chance to read yet or just can't decide one way or the other.
Completed list is just stuff that I'm done translating.
I used to keep things like this is a spreadsheet on my computer, but I find it to be easier to see when someone else picks up one of my future projects this way. Less likely that I'll work on it not knowing that someone else is doing it.

I put manga I want to read in the future into my wish list. Manga that looks interesting, or someone recommends it to me, or a new manga from my favourite mangaka. Or just a manga which is already licensed that I want to buy. So whenever there's a new chapter coming out, when I see the update mark, it's a reminder to me about that series. Sometimes I do put Unfinished manga into Wish List. In those cases, it's more of "ah I have read a few chapters of it. The series is okay to read when I'm bored, but I'm not desperate to read the next chapter".
