Topic on User talk:Tpt/RFC

This seems very promising. Now, let's start with the questions :-)

1. Will it be possible to set data for a page using current templates? E.g., in every page I already have a template called "header" and I want that some of its fields are stored as data, without modifications to the pages but only to the template. Can I do it?
2. Will it be possible to get the data not only from the page I'm in, but also from other pages? E.g., in my authors' pages I have the list of the author's works, and for each work I want to show its data (year of publication, proofread quality, etc.), is it possible?
3. Also, it will be useful to have 2 shortcuts, one that says "give me this data from the basepage, that is, in the page "My novel/Part 1/Chapter 2" get data from "My novel"; and another that says "give me this data from the upper level page" ("My novel/Part 1" in our example).
4. Why only nsIndex and ns0? This system can be useful for other namespaces too, nsAuthor above all.

1. Of course, the parser function {{#pfdata:ID_OF_THE_METADATA|VALUE}} is done for that.
2. I haven't think about it. It's a good idea but there is a problem : it's that we have to do a lot of requests on the database in order to get these informations (It's why Semantic Mediawiki is not installed in Wikisource). But if we don't do complex requests, I think it's possible. We have to see with core developers. I don't want to kill the project because of such a problem. Do you have an idea of the parser function to create ?
3. see 2.
4. For nsAuthor the informations are the same as Wikipedia infobox ones that will be stored in Wikidata that will provide a module in order to show them in other wikis (see this discussion)
