Neat idea. I wonder if Flow will help with some of this.

I also wonder if it makes sense to tackle individual problems first before trying a unified system. Years ago Werdna (who's now doing Flow work...) wrote a prototype MediaWiki extension that focused exclusively on (voting) deletion processes. Taking discrete manageable bites like that might be a better path forward here. For example, a global gadget to allow for easily speedily nominating a page for deletion (or protection) is probably easy enough to implement. It requires a sane localization system within JavaScript and the ability to have global gadgets. We're... half there! Building on overall architecture (i.e., making something that can scale) such as global gadgets seems like it would indirectly move ideas like this forward. In other words, give people better tools and they'll make better products. Focus on the building blocks rather than the building.

Meanwhile a system for tracking voting deletion (or protection) discussions might involve aspects of Flow, Echo, watchlists, and other new technologies, probably more in PHP/SQL rather than in JavaScript.

Breaking down the overall communications problem discussed in this RFC into smaller bites seems like a better approach here, I think.

Krinkle: Any thoughts on next steps here? :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 02:22, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
