So, milder proposal: how do people feel about moving

(non-templated) metadata to the bottom of the page at save time? It's
not a huge benefit by itself, but it allows that metadata to be edited
separately without having to guess where it came from.
I'm fine with moving the metadata down there on demand when we
actually edit it separately and can't be bothered to put it back where
it came from. I think if we do that, we'd avoid the need to separate
it all on-save.
And dear god do
we need to get references separated out from the main text...
A fix for this went live today. You can now put your <ref name="">
tags into the <references> tag, and then reference them by name.
Might be fun to run a bot or something to move them down there, it'd
be a cheap usability improvement.
Somehow I suspect the most controversial thing about
doing that would
be the massive war that would erupt between those who want interwiki
links first and those who want categories first...
We'll argue about anything ;)
