Yes. I have been thinking on the Author case, as it seemed an easy start, and storing them inside the wikitext blob (hidden for users) looks to be the best way. Moving, versioning, diffing... is already handled for you. You just need to transform it before saving/rendering, and update the license table when the last version changes (I'm not convinced page_props wouldn't be good enough). The uglier bit is that we don't have run-once tags, which means a greater deviation from normal rendering. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
