Re: ([01]+)

I was sorry about the Wikidata insanity, and am glad to see you around.

Templates are one way to go but I think using a real markup <tag> to mark
them up would be even better.
This would make the tag cheaper to process and would require making
a fairly trivial extension. Regarding
the UI - I've done something like this a while back based on userscripts in
the wild.

I do envision another issue - since talk pages don't use liquid threads
user comments are not "objects".
Tagging a LT objects is just ... adding a decorator. But tagging a blob of
text is a can of worms - what are
the scope of each tags (The page/top level section/paragraph?)  I don't see
this would work with templates....
and without tag scope I don't see this being very useful for
filtering/retrieval per your original use case.

(It could be done but would require a semi structured text processing kit
on the other end)

Anyhow it seems that talk pages are being redesigned which may render the
project superfluous.
