How difficult would it be to change the way that namespaces were handled so that you could assign particular namespaces to particular formats? What I mean is, would it be possible to arrange that you could, for example, set up a namespace for "SVG" images. When you viewed the pages in that namespace, you saw an image; when you edited the page, you got the SVG code. You would then have to put the "description" on the talk page but that would be OK surely. I was particulary thinking of this in connection with the various extensions at Wikisophia (http://wikisophia.org/wiki/Main_Page) many of which would actually work better as namespaces. It would also work for EasyTimeline. I was envisaging also changing the way linking and transcluding worked. All links using [[.]] would be just links. All transcluding, including of images, would be via {{.}}. Obviously this change is reasonably orthogonal to the other. One thing that might work better however is that you could then pass parameters into a transclusion, which isn't the case at the moment, because the order of proceessing precludes it. -- Phil [[en:User:Phil Boswell]]
