I'm wondering if there has been any suggestion to set up a template sharing area in Mediawiki, or all Mediawiki based sites similar to instant commons. I have noticed that there are a LOT of us , me included that use the templates from other sites. I certainly don't have the skill to write them myself so I usually just copy & paste them. However if they are upgraded by the authors, I don't usually get the updates. It seems this would be especially helpful to those maintaining translated sites. I realize this would not work for all templates as it doesn't for all media in commons. I use some original media & some from instant commons. Template sharing should work just as easily, & it would assist in growing Wikipedia more quickly. Any thoughts??
