Afaik parser does not need a database or extension hooks for minimum but
fully operational use.
{{unknown templates}} default to redlinks,
{{int:messages}} default to <unknown>,
<tags> and {{#functions}} default to literals,
{{MAGICWORDS}} to red links,
etc...
If a user of the parser would not have any of these (either none
existing or no
registry / database configured at all). It would fallback to the
behaviour as if
they are inexistant, not a problem ?
By having this available as a parser sites that host blogs and forums
could potentially use wikitext to format their comments and forum
threads
(to avoid visitors from having to for example learn Wikitext for their
wiki,
WYSIWYM WYMeditor for WordPress and BBCode for a forum).
Instead they could all be the same syntax. And within wiki context
magic words, extensions, int messages etc. would be fed from the wiki
database,
outside just static.
