I would have probably gone by the page_props route, passing the metadata
from the wikitext to the tables via a parser function.

Conceptually, revision table shouldn't link to file_props. file_props
should be linked with image instead.

I like the idea of an author manager, specially if it's done as a
pseudo-namespace.
