Some form of the basic template that we use for {{user|Name}} and {{vandal|Name}} might also help. Those templates are extremely compact

pages and yet allow you to pack a bunch of displayed info on pages.
Can you elaborate? Transcluding would be a huge performance hit. Substing would put us back where we started. Do we really need all those links? Surely user and talk are enough? No?
Not being even vaguely involved in the server management / performance side of things, how much of a hit are we talking about? How much additional resources do the various admin pages full of {{vandal|}} and {{user|}} impose?
Has anyone got benchmark results on testing?
Computer systems architect work pays most of my bills, and I see where you're coming from, but I always prefer to quantify where possible. If it hasn't been quantified yet, we should test.
In terms of parsing the proposed %T% %C% etc variables, are there other variables being run in-line which would serve as a performance comparison as well, for that approach?
