:@[[User:Kyliotic|Kyliotic]] For some reason it did not but I saw your comments on the bug report page. That page should probably be moved as the Consumer Action Taskforce namespace is protected as a whole... Though that is the right place for such page.Anyway: | :@[[User:Kyliotic|Kyliotic]] For some reason it did not but I saw your comments on the bug report page.

:* Captcha is broken with discussion tools. That is a known bug with the extensions and I am not sure when it will be fixed, hopefully we tune the confirmed/autoconfirmed user process to allow people to skip them as soon as possible. | :*Captcha is broken with discussion tools.

::@[[User:Kostas|Kostas]], Interesting info. I have to manually edit the discussion source in order to reply. Perhaps that also breaks notifications/pings. Cargo might be helpful with metadata read/write, but I have never used it. | |||
::*So far, with simple embedded JSON, my extension can already look up if a website URL has been added to a wiki lookup table/database, and if is, it pulls embedded JSON from the wiki's product/organization articles. I just need to make GUI and then the basic concept is functional. | |||
::*I only glanced at the ClintonCAT GitHub and it seems to actually read/search through all the wiki articles. To me, that seems like overkill. Having machine-readable metadata is so much more efficient and conveniant and sure, maybe Cargo may help with that. | |||
::*But also, in my opinion, the nice thing about having the metadata embedded in the article source is that anyone may edit and fix metadata (once a proper format is established of course). So when someone creates a new article, someone can easily copy/paste a metadata template, edit it, and have the changes update live to the extension. | |||
::*Maybe even some automation to automatically generate extension metadata (likely only possible with a MediaWiki extension) | |||
::*Does Cargo achieve those points? I genuinely don't know, but just some things to consider. [[User:Kyliotic|Kyliotic]] ([[User talk:Kyliotic|talk]]) 06:04, 4 March 2025 (UTC) | |||
:::@[[User:Kyliotic|Kyliotic]]<nowiki> this time the ping worked. Maybe I missed it last time or I had the page open in another tab and that messed it up. You should take a look at the page I linked, I think it will help (eg ~~~~ automatically signs mesaages for you) I am aware how you are replying, I wrote the FAQ entry on it a month ago. Actually disregard the source editor stuff, let me just confirm your account ao you can just skip the captchas and reply using the ui.</nowiki> | |||
:::* The metadata used with Cargo/Semantic media wiki is meant to be used like you descibe by the extension. Also they will be user editable as well. | |||
:::* The clinton cat extension did initially work like you describe(querries to the api for every page) but that has shifted. I would suggest working with them as they have a basic ui (as I understand it), there are a couple of people already working on it and it has been the one Louis has been linking. Work has been stalled for a bit (mainly waiting on the extension to be added) but I think combining resources would help here. Maybe make a PR to share your idea on what the metadata format should contain? Or even the whole flow you currently use. | |||
:::* Automating this is how we are planning to do it. It should be possible through the API and a scriot but I dont have anything concrete yet. | |||
:::Also if you join the discrors communication would probably be easier. If you prefer not to I am happy to use talk pages and using github for the extension should also be fine, but it would help get on the same page faster I think.
