One could use a plain filter() to iterate over all the nodes, and test each, to see if it is the template that you want to delete. Having detected the template you want to delete, set a flag, and delete following text nodes, until the next template node is detected.

which works, but it leaves an extra blank line behind where the template used to be.  This is intended to be run on [[:en:Template talk:Did you know/Approved]], i.e. one template per line.

What's the best way to get rid of the blank lines?  I'm trying to avoid just running a regex replacement on the raw text because that's fragile, but maybe theres really no good alternative here?
