Topic on Extension talk:TimedMediaHandler

I've noticed that pages in the TimedText namespace actually use the Wikitext content model. This is far from ideal and causes confusion and some problems with editing.

The extension should probably extend the "plain text" model instead. This would probably be a decently-hard change to make... but I think it should be considered.

The intention is to get rid of the namespace altogether. See phab:T135221. I don't know when this goal will be achieved, though. May be worth a bugreport, since this can be done by config on WMF wikis.

Oh, interesting.

That is probably a good idea, because of how painful this namespace is to work with.
