Move invisible page properties from the DOM to dedicated metadata
Open, LowPublic
Actions

Description

With RESTBase we now have the ability to store additional versioned metadata outside of the page content. I am proposing to use this to move page properties out of the content in the longer term.

In the medium term, it would be useful to offer retrieval and edit support for page properties without removing them from the main content just yet. This would support page property editing in a future VE section edit mode, but would also allow us to offer a simpler property editing experience to all users.

Because of the text diffing interface, the one problem Parsoid would have to solve here is: being able to serialize metadata back at the same wikitext position where it showed up.

Possible solution:

  • we have to leave behind rendering-transparent, unfosterable, uneditable markers (uneditable because of protocol between Parsoid and clients). HTML comments fit those requirements -- except users could insert comments that could be indistinguishable from these marker comments (which is solvable using encoding tricks)
