--- Comment #3 from Matthew Flaschen <mflasc...@wikimedia.org> ---
Nikas, I believe the specific idea is to have the server generate an AST. 
However, there are certainly cases where you want wikitext parsing, but there
are no actual variables.  In that case the server could do everything.  

Right now, the only way you can get 100% reliable parsing is by sending
requests to the server
(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/RL/DM#mediawiki.api.parse).  The goal is to
avoid that by having the server do the parsing up front, and bundle it into the
modules' messages data.

We definitely need an architecture.  See also
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25349, which suggests letting
modules choose.  Perhaps one of those ways could be AST, for when you have to
plug in variables on the client.

Nemo, that page.  I'm Superm401, and I just replied to you there.
