:@[[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. | ::@[[User:Kostas|Kostas]], Interesting info. I have to manually edit the discussion source in order to reply.

:*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. | ::*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 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. | ::*I only glanced at the ClintonCAT GitHub and it seems to actually read/search through all the wiki articles.

:*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. | ::*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).

:*Maybe even some automation to automatically generate extension metadata (likely only possible with a MediaWiki 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. | ::*Does Cargo achieve those points? I genuinely don't know, but just some things to consider. [[User:Kyliotic|Kyliotic]] ([[User talk:Kyliotic|talk]]) 01:04, 4 March 2025 (EST) | ||
