Hi! I would like to turn the mw ToC into a discrete object within the
codebase. Write a ToC class and pull all the random building parts out
of the parser and five levels of pageoutput, and make it stop messing up
the page caching and stuff. Make this class a thing, separate from the
content itself, that can appear on the page or be toggled or messed with
or added to or moved or whatever by extensions.
I have a proposal about this for the developers summit which is about as
specific: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114057
Please come discuss. Would this affect what you're doing in a good or
bad way? What do we know of that this should support at present? What
would we, as developers or whatever the buckets, want out of it?
Also is this the sort of thing you normally use an RfC for? I'm a
designer so I'm just asking questions and soliciting stories and all
that before I go trying to do designy stuff on the mw backend, but maybe
that's not really the way to do this here.
