One thing that I was pondering when you posted about this before is whether the "special behaviour" of namespaces like "Image:", "Category:", etc could be built into some kind of hooks mechanism. I know it seems silly, but I rather like the idea of modularising the code so that existing features can be treated as extensions, because it means extensions can be written that mimic or replace those features.
In this case, people sometimes say they want to develop new namespaces for references, or category-like namespaces for blogging, etc; I guess some such things could be done through wikidata, but then again, wikidata could be attached to namespaces via those same hooks. Maybe.
An excellent idea!
Image: Category: Template: Reference: *Table:* Task: Review: Poll: (AFD etc) Collection: (transclude polls; AFD)
The mind boggles. :)
