We're already moving tube into youtube/blip. No need to put it into the
wiki. But as general possibility it sounds cool.

Nice!

Looks nice but for what would we actually use it? I just skimmed over
the usual suspect pages for bugzilla links and it seems to me that links
are just fine. The only real benefit i see would be to integrate this
into Template:Bug so one can use {{Bug|12345}} and gets the output but
for most use cases this seems to be a bit much output. Did you have any
specific use case in mind?

No. We use connect/users for polls.

Sounds good.

Also cool.

I don't know. Sounds unnecessary to me. I never ever wanted to report a
wiki page and most of the social bookmarking pages have nice browser
extension.

Same as with the bugzilla extension i think.
