This is simply not feasible as long as we have templates. Templates can contain both position-dependent data and metadata, and the template reference needs to be stored with the data to preserve the position. This means the metadata inherently depends on the page text. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
