I don't think comments on live articles would be
useful (as mentioned
above) but there are many cases which it can be a game changer. I can think
of a couple:
- Collaborative drafting: When you want to draft policy, a proposal, a
new article, etc. with one or more fellow Wikimedians
- Using as a replacement for google docs in many private wikis (as
both for Wikimedia and third party corporate installations). We already
have collab-pad
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Real-time_collaboration>
which allows users to turn VE into an etherpad. I would love to see that
get off the ground.
- Reviewing a nomination for good or featured article: For example,
take a look at a recent FAC
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Alpine_ibex/archive1&redirect=no>.
The reviewer highlights a sentence in the discussion page and makes a
comment about it and that's quite...labor intensive. Having a way to allow
commenting which would be only visible to a small group of users would be
quite nice.
It shouldn't be too hard to implement but not super trivial either.
MediaWiki is open source and extendable (via extensions) and I would
appreciate any work on it!

I don't have a particular opinion on this,
except that inline comments
that are publicly visible must be able to be moderated by the community,
and that smaller communities in particular should be able to opt out of
this extension. They sound like a great idea, but we're much more likely
to get comments like "this isn't true" or "this [highly unreliable
website]
disagrees", and that just creates problems for readers. We can assume good
faith until the cows come home, but we should also be realistic and realize
that those comments are going to make our articles look more like Twitter
and Facebook; that is, they'll be opportunities for disinformation.

Hi! I'm thinking on writing a gadget to add
inline comments to
articles, similar to how Google Docs comments work.
However, I'm sure I recently read somewhere about someone developing an
extension or something with the same goal, but now I can't find it
anywhere. Anyone knows?
Thanks!
