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.
