I think you should describe more how these cards are supposed to be created. I think there should be special elements in wiki code that can mark some text as something that is supposed to be in wiki card.
Like:
''<card>'John Fitzgerald''' "'''Jack'''" '''Kennedy''' (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials '''JFK''', was the [[List of Presidents of the United States|35th]] [[President of the United States]]</card>, serving from 1961 until [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|his death]] in 1963.
(note the "card" markup tags)
This way you could update the card content together with article so that you would ensure it's synced

Hello,
I am Gaurav Chawla, an undergraduate student at IIT Roorkee, India. I am applying for this year's Google Summer of Code as a developer for Wikimedia. For the past few days, I have been researching about any new improvement or extension in funtionality that can be introduced to this awesome wiki and finally came up with this idea: WikIcards - small information cards. I have drafted a project proposal with full description of WikIcards and also a sample structure of it at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Grv99
I have also filed it as an extension request (Bug 46970) at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46970
I request you to go through this new project and give your suggestions and feedback. You can give the feedback on the bug report. Alternatively, you can also add your suggestions at "Suggestions section" near the end of the project proposal page. Please comment on its feasibility too.
Hoping for a good response.
Thank you.
