New proposal for topic metadata

1

Coming from your feedback in this page, we are re-evaluating the possibilities for human intervention in managing section topic metadata.

Our first proposal relied on humans to approve or reject a given set of machine-generated section metadata, but this can easily become too much of a burden for users (especially in small communities).

So our current proposal is to instead insert the machine-generated topical metadata in Wikipedia article's sections, relying on blue interwiki links and concept relationships, without requiring users to accept or reject that metadata - but leaving the possibility to users to revise it (by adding new concepts or deleting machine-generated concepts). This would result in a much faster way of populating section metadata and in a lesser burden for users.

Here you can visualise the differences between the two proposals. What is your take about this? Do you consider it feasible?
