Claims
What (summary)
Claims are statements that involve multiple pages. Unlike hyperlinks, claims appear on each page that they site. That is, they are multi-directional.
See the claims section of the Site_Layout_Draft.

Why this is important
Claims promise to increase engagement by adding a semantic component to related-pages and spreading them more widely.
Our test implementation of Claims explores overlaying functionality on mediawiki without relying solely on wikitext.
