Hallo,
MediaWiki has change tags, which are used for a bunch of things - mobile edits, visualeditor, etc.
The page that describes the relevant database table is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Change_tag .
The table has a column called ct_params, described on that page as "Parameters for the tag, presently unused."
Why is it unused? Is there a reason not to start using it?

I didn't get any replies, so I just went on and started using it and updated the documentation page :)

Woo, being bold!
One thing I wonder, would it be good to specify some sort of format for ct_params from the get go, like a json value, and document that all callers should use this format?

I did, in fact, use a JSON-encoded value in my code, because it made sense to me where I needed it: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/139881/
I guess that it's up to the community to decide about the best practices.
