It appears the fix is to set the 30 second timeout higher.
The fix is to remove/fix the templates. 30 seconds is a long time for a page to take to render...
Yep. Since Wikimedia publishes the templates and the dumps, the fixing needs to happen at the source -- the English Wikipedia. Some sort of constraint should be placed into MediaWiki to limit the call depth and complexity for some of these templates by refusing to save changes for templates which are so obviously broken.
