Testing ("what must be true" for strategy to work: The community or AI is able/willing to generate content at all levels of complexity
Objective: Gauge interest or resistance
Test: Email wikitech-l and wikimedia-l describing the simple-moderate-complex content tagging concept
If/Then Hypothesis: If feedback is positive, then the community will welcome it
Standard of Proof: The ratio of feedback is 10:1 (positive+neutral:negative)"
If "tagging article complexity" is something affecting workflows of non-developers on specific wikis and if you plan to gather feedback from non-developers (that's unclear to me - please define the target group), then each "the community" can way more likely be reached on their specific wiki than on two global mailing lists with clear developer focus.
Edit: Whoops, I read "mediawiki-l" instead of "wikimedia-l" in the task description, so my "clear developer focus" above is wrong.
