Associate non-body content such as annotations and talk to a location in the article. * Could integrate with Flow – Inline flow conversations * Yay Medium! * Vaguely on the VisualEditor roadmap for rich annotations – associated {{cn}} with a selection of text; blame maps; … * See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Annotation Challenges: * Preserving the target association when content is edited. ** Could leverage https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/MediaWiki_DOM_spec/Element_IDs -- yes! * On some articles we might be talking about hundreds of "annotations". ** Need a clever UI to make this manageable. * More discussion = more moderation needs ** Yup. Any change that encourages more people to write text also needs a way to encourage more people who can patrol & moderate.
