Dear Wikipedia and MediaWiki people, Hers are some suggested ideas that may allow Wikipedia and MediaWiki to be organized better in the future and for the future of organizing the worlds open public information. *Summaries - popup summaries for pages* Using automated generation of content for the title attribute on the <a> tag containing a summary containing either the content from an <article><header><section id="summary"> or a designated section from Wikimedia markdown a popup summary could be generated for quick browsing for definition of terms on hyperlinks. This would vastly aid the user experience. *Categories - bread crumb like hierarchical and cross referencing categorization and navigation* By creating a set of categorical navigation pages the whole of fields of knowledge on Wikipedia could be categorized. By having a set of clickable list of hierarchical categories displayed like 'bread crumb' navigation lists under the page title the user could quickly navigate this hierarchy. By adding pop up menus to the separating chevrons with each subcategories elements cross category navigation would be made possible. Double clicking on chevrons should navigate to the categorical navigation page. *QuickLink - Quick Link Creation* A hotkey and JavaScript script could allow the creation of links from a selected highlighted bit of normal text to lookup a term, display its summary and allow the user to confirm the generation of a new hyperlink very quickly without having to edit markdown. *Move towards semantic content* By using new HTML elements like <article>, <section> and <header> and id's and classes more of a semantic mapping of content may be established. Tis maybe done incrementally and also for example by a bot auto generating new summary information that maybe verified by either users or editors for publishing. *API* API's from summaries, categories, and semantic content should be made available. More to come ...
