Re: ([01]+)
I was sorry about the Wikidata insanity, and am glad to see you around.
Templates are one way to go but I think using a real markup <tag> to mark them up would be even better. This would make the tag cheaper to process and would require making a fairly trivial extension. Regarding the UI - I've done something like this a while back based on userscripts in the wild.
I do envision another issue - since talk pages don't use liquid threads user comments are not "objects". Tagging a LT objects is just ... adding a decorator. But tagging a blob of text is a can of worms - what are the scope of each tags (The page/top level section/paragraph?) I don't see this would work with templates.... and without tag scope I don't see this being very useful for filtering/retrieval per your original use case.
(It could be done but would require a semi structured text processing kit on the other end)
Anyhow it seems that talk pages are being redesigned which may render the project superfluous.

Hi folks,
we have an old problem that talks sink in the archives of talk pages and village pumps. I already wrote a bot for huwiki that creates tables of contents for these pages, but this is far not enough. The idea is to use tags, For example, if the use of disambiguation pages has come up 113 times in various village pumps, noticeboards and talk pages, a tag could help users to connect these talks and find them.
For the solution, there is a trivial way: use templates. Several templates can be placed in a section. As the tag itself could be the parameter of the template, special:whatlinkshere will unfortunately not help to collect tags. A bot may easily be written for this purpose, not a big task.
For what I write this here: is there a way so that mediaWiki or an extension could solve this task more efficiently? Is this a good idea for someone for GSoC? Tasks:
- Easily place new tags to sections, choose among the existing or create
new.
- Easily find tagged sections in talk pages, village pumps, noticeboards
and archives of these.
