Parsoid/Content widgets

Goals

• Separate data from presentation
  • Data ideally in WikiData or a similar repository, lets us use this data in other contexts
  • Exploit type information on data for automatic default formatting. Example: birth date -> age
• Enable a better editing experience
  • VE integration
• Provide compelling alternatives for current use cases of unbalanced templates
• Enable adaptive rendering in different skins, mobile & apps

Taxonomy

Likely an extension tag like construct with parameters and possibly the ability to define inline data as JSON.

Candidate use cases

• Templated data tables as in this this example
• Infoboxes
• Pie charts
