Eh. Edit-conflict.

I would love to get started on this. What are the things we need?

• convention for URLs
• interface to create these kind of URLs
• on every page load, check if the query is of this type and handle
• method to handle changed text and old links pointing to removed/modified content

Can this be added to Possible-Tech-Projects ?

You first need to get some wiki(s) interested in this feature. You could try Wikiquote in English, for instance. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Village_pump The Italian Wikisource has something similar.

I posted in the village pumps of the English Wikipedia (where I received mixed responses) and Wikiquote (where I haven't received a response yet).

The relevant pages are:

• enwiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#Link_to_specific_content_in_article_.28with_highlighting.29
• Wikiquote: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Village_pump#Link_to_specific_content_in_article_.28with_highlighting.29

At what point can we say a wiki is interested?

A wiki is interested when they offer to enable and use a beta version in their pages and to actively collaborate to the definition of requirements etc., so that you have feedback. (Ideally. You could say it's the "Customer collaboration over contract negotiation" part.)
