agreed. has that happened?
This is something that needs community discussion on-wiki as well as announcement on wikitech-ambassadors@lists.w.o
Is this intended for web too or just app?
I'm concerned with this being a slippery slope. Part of the problem that I see is that the content being controlled by the apps rather than on-wiki. I don't really have any better ideas than something similar to class="metadata" which TextExtracts removes though.
Is there a team (or even a phabricator project) responsible for tracking, prioritizing, implementing, etc the use of standard templates, element IDs, microformats and semantic markup?
What teams and external users need what structure?
Then maybe you can differentiate between unrelated bracket scenarios (pronunciation vs. aka name vs. dates vs. transliteration) by the markup. And if heuristics are absolutely necessary then there should be a way for editors to override the heuristic for a particular case adhoc. And to later for an editor to reset that case back to deferring to the heuristic.
There should be a way for a desktop editor to see from the desktop site what will be hidden from or shown to app readers and mobile web readers.
