Templates can also be coded in lua, which is comparable to javascript in
expressivity. It's not so hard to code a generic lua template that could
act as reasonator, multilingual and that could be imported into every
language versions of Wikipedia.
Here is the interesting thing : this generic version could be, in my
proposition, associated to the query "every item", so it is totally
compatible. But every wikipedia could also overload the mechanism by
associating language specific versions of the template for specific kind on
item.
This leads us to the original question of this thread, as every query's
results is a subset of the result of the query "every item on WIkidata".

Hoi,
Absolutely. However, creating functionality that is useful in any language
for any subject beats considering templates that are useful for only about
one project. Also automated text is something beyond what templates may
offer or what Reasonator offers.
Reasonator and its approach is superior because it provides information on
the strength of the available labels and the ability to understand other
languages. Templates fall short in every way in that respects.
I am all in favour of understanding what templates are, what queries are,
the restrictions in either but I am not willing to consider templates a
real solution that works for Wikidata.
Thanks,
GerardM
