I think that would be an excellent move; but first we need to stop and
reverse the harmful "keyword stuffing" encouraged by the WMF:

You'll note my request on the latter page that the WMF provide
evidence of consensus for their model of tagging has been repeatedly
ignored; on 29 February this year I wrote - in response to a claim
from a WMF staff member that "we're not ignoring anything":
"You have been called out for ignoring questions, by a number of
people. You have only just - on 29 February - replied to some of the
points I raised on this page on 11 February - nearly three weeks ago -
even though I and others complained about your lack of response on 14
February. You have yet to respond to requests to show where there is
consensus for the tool to operate, or to use depicts statements in the
manner it is - including in the very post you reply to here. Most
significantly, you have yet to answer requests to explain how the
tool, or the invitation to tag, can be turned off."
My post was eventually archived, with no response to it.
