I'm thinking that stuff like extensions and namespaces, if they're to be included, should be stored in serialized form. Or there could be an extensions template with extension1, extension2, etc. as parameters, and this could put wikis in categories such as [[:Category:Wikis that use the ViewFiles extension]]. Likewise, there could be a namespaces template that could put pages in categories such as [[:Category:Wikis that have a Debate namespace]]. | I'm thinking that stuff like extensions and namespaces, if they're to be included, should be stored in serialized form.

It all depends on how you want to store data, and whether you want users to be able to edit it. My guess is that you probably don't want users to edit data that is retrieved by bots, because they'll likely degrade its accuracy rather than improve it.

Also, having all those templates with so many parameters could fatigue users. [[User:Leucosticte|Leucosticte]] ([[User talk:Leucosticte|talk]]) 22:45, 21 November 2012 (PST) | ||
