Awesome. Timeframe? Screenshots?

(Also, you're not actually calling them stubs are you? Confusing...)

Nothing just yet. Right now we're focusing on getting the Babaco
release deployed shortly. When that's done and the inevitable
post-deployment problems have settled down, we're gonna get cracking
at Citron features. We do have some mockups for Citron features at
http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Babaco_Designs#BEYOND_BABACO ; for
a list of features per release see
http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Releases .

No, fortunately not; I was just trying to come up with a shorter word
for visual placeholder for table/template/ref syntax that's much
shorter than the actual syntax and that can be expanded and
collapsed. They probably won't be called anything at all: we don't
really need a name for them.

 As to the issue of getting possible template variable names: Why not
 * load the wikitext of the template in the background
 * remove all nowiki, noinclude, etc
 * get everything that looks like {{{NAME| or {{{NAME}}}
 * remove known magic words
 * Profit!

We (the usability team) do intend to get 'content folding' (folding
template calls and tables into stubs that can be expanded at will)
done in the Citron (third) release.
