Description

parser patch to stub signature wikitext

Just learning about the parser--these patches will match the NOTOC etc. layout behavior switch keywords, and signature and timestamp strings.

I'm not so confident about my decisions where to put these grammars.

The behavior switch keywords should probably turn into tokens which send control commands to set state in the sync23 stage.

The signature doesn't have access to the current username. The timestamp has no locale or user timezone functionality.

Patches have been deprecated in favor of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/4050

I've abandoned the signature/timestamp patch, agreeing with Brion that,

These sorts of things really should be happening *in* the editor, rather
than in the parser. We only have to put ~~~~ in because the original editor
was too primitive to have a nice "insert signature" live function. So I
think it's worth really rethinking how these things get done for the new
paradigm. :)

Seems to be a NOTDONE given Adam's comment. :-)
