@[[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.
