Does the technology exist? Is it available? How does this splitting make maintenance easier? Cheers, Peter Not exactly, but it's doable and it's desirable. There are two relatively recently developed components in MediaWiki that are important for developers: Content Model and Multi-Content Revisions. They are not discussed very much among the less technical editors because they are pretty internal, and I'm really not an expert on what they do myself, but as far as I understand them, they can serve as steps to implementing Jane's suggestion. This suggestion is not even very new. In a way, the extremely old bug https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T2167 , originally filed in 2004 (!) suggests pretty much the same thing: separate interlanguage links and other metadata from the page content. Interlanguage links were mostly separated from pages thanks to Wikidata, but categories still aren't, and a lot of other kinds of metadata appeared since then: DEFAULTSORT, newsectionlink, notoc, and many others. Authority control, navbox, and infobox templates, as well as links to disambiguation pages, can probably be converted to separately-stored metadata as well. Wikidata can probably play a major role in getting this done, but it's not the only factor, and a lot of development is needed to better integrate Wikidata with other projects. But yes—I generally agree with Jane that better modularization of wiki pages' content components can go a long to making them easier to edit, easier to search, easier to query, etc. It's not the only major change that our technical infrastructure needs, but it's among the more important ones. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
