It would break T67258 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T67258. I also think it's probably a very bad idea to be trying to have page parses make edits to the wiki.
Well, actually, depending on what you mean with have page parses make edits to the wiki, I'm not sure what I'm looking for fall under this umbrella.
What I would like is a way to do something like
local data = mw.loadData( 'Module:Name/data/entry' ) -- do some stuff with `data` mw.saveData( 'Module:Name/data/entry', data)
That's it.
If it's not, please provide me some feed back on the proposal to add such a function, and if I should document such a proposal elsewhere, please let me know.
You're free to file a task in Phabricator, but it will be closed as Declined. There are too many potential issues there for far too little benefit.
If you do think it's an horrible akward awfully disgusting idea , I would be interested to know more technical details on what problems it might lead to (not the global result of nightmarish hell on earth that I'm obviously targeting )
Your initial idea of somehow hooking into the editor (whether that's the wikitext editor or VE) with JavaScript to allow humans to make edits to the data module while editing another page was much better.
I didn't even thought about JS actually. For the wikitext removal of updating parameter, I had in mind some inplace template substitution. Does javascript allow to change an other page on the wiki, especially a data module, at some point when the user edit/save an article?
