Alsee added a comment.

Did anyone consider that it might be a bad idea to start building a radical change to the editing environment without investigating whether the editing community wants this? Ripping categories and templates and other stuff entirely out of the page?

Wiki operates on an extremely simple, powerful, and flexible paradigm. A page is simply a text file.

We can trivially copy-paste a page into any text editor, possibly close the browser or go offline, do anything and everything, then just paste it here and save.

This is proposing turning Wikipedia into a gigantic complex app.
