Well, AFAIK we all agree that metadata like categories
and interwiki
links don't really belong into wikitext. Maybe we could find a general
solution that also encompasses references (that is, the contents, not
the position information within the wikitext). We could move these
things into a separate table:
Or just shove them all to the bottom, automatically upon hitting submit. So
if you type in "blah blah <ref>http://whatever/</ref> blah" it
automatically
gets reformatted to "blah blah <ref id=2938 /> blah" and puts
"<ref id=2938>
http://whatever/</ref>" at the bottom.
Use globally unique IDs, and you can even handle automagic cut/paste copying
from article to article.
