hello Derk-Jan,
    thanks, I did not know this page
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_default_namespaces
 
and actually I have been lucky, because the namespace id for storing the
form descriptor was not already taken (2226-7),
see for instance here
 
https://wikienterprise.org/wiki/PagePropertiesForm:Organization
(in this case, however, it is the main slot)
 
 
also I think this is highly relevant
 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Multi-Content_Revisions
 
(talk page of the page mentioned by you)
actually you could already set categories (through the tab "Edit semantic")
and they will be registered in a dedicated slot. (perhaps I will insert
a mention in the talk page itself)
 
Regarding the dedicated content model, I will check it
further, however it would be still 'json' with an
alternate name or interface, right ?
 
 
kind regards
(Thomas)

Oh Thomas. I notice that you use "json" as the content model, but if I'm not mistaken, the content model is supposed to describe "what" you are storing, not how you are storing it. For instance: commons metadata uses "wikibase-mediainfo" as its content model.
 
This also reminds me, that like for namespaces and content handlers, we should probably keep a list of known rvslot names, to avoid potential conflicts.

This is looking really nice !
 
For those wondering, here is an example of the raw api output for this extra slot when requested:
 
This could be very useful ! Glad to finally see slots getting some more usage.

Hello, I've released a major upgrade of PageProperties extension
and completely rewritten the extension page
 
 
most of the recent work is intended for the use in conjunction with Semantic MediaWiki
(it now offers a complete GUI based on OOUI to interactively create/edit properties, create/edit forms and even
to perform a semantic import from csv fields to local properties registered in the Wiki).
 
However at the same time the extension can be considered a proof of concept for the use of 
Slots, since all the data-structure is completely based on SLOTS
(properties associated to a page are recorded within a slot with JSON content model)
and they can also be navigated through the interface.
 
The extension makes also significant use of the OOUI library, and I want
to thank the authors for their wonderful work.
 
If you want to check out the extension, I've set up this wiki
 
 
where you can freely test it.
 
I also plan to contribute whenever possible to the development
of MCR/slots for the coming versions of Mediawiki, since currently
the extension uses at least one hack, and the edit of slots
in addition to the first could in my opinion be strongly simplified possibly with a
a few changes in the code base.
 
best
(Thomas)
