We could go even further and have it go fetch a template configuration page for each template, and then automatically show all the fields, refuse to allow the user to completely remove a mandatory field, provide hover-over/pop up help about the various field types, and even basic input validation.

Not necessarily, but if we're going to fix infoboxes, personally I think we should go whole-hog and adopt/implement the semantic mediawiki.
