And if it were changed, templates *should* be able to continue being a source of metadata. So I think that requirement blocks changing the way categories are stored.
You're right, I completely overlooked that.
So, milder proposal: how do people feel about moving all (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. And dear god do we need to get references separated out from the main text...
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...

I could be wrong here, but wasn't Cite recently changed to allow for putting <ref>s inside <references>? If so, I think we could start encouraging people to put all of their refs down in the <references> block and just using <ref name="something"/> inline. /That/ would be a vast improvement, if nothing else.
