User:Tgr (WMF)/structured article data

MediaWiki's text-based nature puts a huge stress on all software that needs to support modern experiences, whether in content consumption or curation; infobox data, navigation structure, citation data, discussion structure and so on are all buried under a mountain of wikitext. In theory, Wikidata is a solution to these problems at least some of the time. In practice, it seems pretty clear that the move from wikitext to structured data and the shared ownership of data are too large gaps to bridge both of them at the same time. We should bring local structured data to MediaWiki (now that Multi-Content Revisions has built the platform for that) and make the sharing/unification of that data a separate future step.
