Nice. (I haven't read/skimmed any of the code yet.) How will the errors be queried? Will be there an api.php module to query on a per-error or per-page basis? Does the extension distinguish between errors and warnings? Are there gradations of errors? For example, deprecated syntax v. invalid syntax? I wonder if the name "Linter" is overly generic. This extension will only activate on wikitext, correct? It won't lint other content models/types such as JavaScript and CSS?
