A "list" event is defined as having a list of public and/or private tags. Public tags will be listed in the event `tags`. Private tags will be encrypted in the event `content`. Encryption for private tags will use [NIP-04 - Encrypted Direct Message](04.md) encryption, using the list author's private and public key for the shared secret. A distinct event kind should be used for each list type created.
If a list type should only be defined once per user (like the 'Mute' list), the list type's events should follow the specification for [NIP-16 - Replaceable Events](16.md). These lists may be referred to as 'replaceable lists'.
Otherwise the list type's events should follow the specification for [NIP-33 - Parameterized Replaceable Events](33.md), where the list name will be used as the 'd' parameter. These lists may be referred to as 'parameterized replaceable lists'.
## Replaceable List Event Example
Lets say a user wants to create a 'Mute' list and has keys:
An event with kind `10000` is defined as a replaceable list event for listing content a user wants to mute. Any standarized tag can be included in a Mute List.
An event with kind `10001` is defined as a replaceable list event for listing content a user wants to pin. Any standarized tag can be included in a Pin List.
An event with kind `30000` is defined as a parameterized replaceable list event for categorizing people. The 'd' parameter for this event holds the category name of the list. The tags included in these lists MUST follow the format of kind 3 events as defined in [NIP-02 - Contact List and Petnames](02.md).
An event with kind `30001` is defined as a parameterized replaceable list event for categorizing bookmarks. The 'd' parameter for this event holds the category name of the list. Any standarized tag can be included in a Categorized Bookmarks List.
