Interesting idea! In one of our recent Small wiki toolkits workshops
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops>, an
attendee suggested that a low-code approach to extending or customizing the
Pywikibot framework be made available as the current approach is too
complex for novice programmers who are heavy users of this framework. I
think this might be a good use case to consider.
On a slightly different and related note, Suchakra (cc'd) and I had once
proposed an idea for the Scratch platform around "Building information-rich
stories with new and experimental Wikipedia blocks!" The idea was that with
a new set of experimental blocks, children would be able to generate
stories, animations, and games in Scratch using data from Wikipedia /
Wikidata (e.g., populating a list of LEGO movie characters). Sharing here
in case any piece developed as part of the project can be an interesting
contribution to Scratch :) If anyone wants to chat more about this, we are
happy to brainstorm.
Cheers,

Thank you for mentioning possible usecases. I am
interested in defining
blocks for the usecases. You can contact me on my talk page for specific
questions about that. I usually get a notification when someone leaves a
message. I need to understand the structure and often used functions or
combinations of functions used within Abuse Filters and Lua templates
before defining blocks. For Wikifunctions I plan to create blocks for the
functions when new functions will be published and maybe there will be a
direct support in Wikifunctions for defining functions using Snap! in the
future. At defining Workflows I also hope that I will understand this and
that it will work based on blocks.
