Nice! This is interesting. Back at the Switzerland hackathon Dan
Andrescu knocked up a Visualisation namespace and I guess this is
based on that?

I'm concerned by the use of the graph tag however, and I'm not sure we
should be promoting its usage. Wikitext is already rather complicated
and every template or bunch of data that gets added makes it harder
for non-technical people  to edit.

Rather than having a graph tag  containing data which will not make
sense to technical users could we imagine something is there any plan
to support something like <graph title="Visualisation:Stock
markets"></graph>? Separating this into another namespace also allows
us to create useful graph editors.

Also how does this fit into https://github.com/jdlrobson/WikiMaps? It
would be great to have a one fit all generic extension that handles
all these use cases.

A generic Visualisation namespace would be awesome.

Graph extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph> is now
live on http://graphtest.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page

Hopefully the main page will stay somewhat presentable :)
