Description

Many of our unmet basic requirements would be satisfied by editing in the wiki interface, for example https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Centralnotice-template-B12_1227_ThankYou_5pillars

Maybe we can do something similar to the Template editor, where the "Read" version uses some semantic knowledge about banners: quotes banner html correctly, pulls some info from the cn_* tables, and links to the Special:NoticeTemplate edit page.

More really missing convenient things:

Download and upload raw article (banner) source. API for that.
Show the template dependency tree, what I have in mind is downloading a complete dev environment for a given notice.
Metadata tags and short path for banner titles. It might be conceptually less sucky if we keep each banner in a path, like "campaign/test/banner". Then, url params like "rev=4" to retrieve a known version. The "campaign/" page could have free-form wikitext explaining what tests were run, their results, and so on...
