rik, I appreciate your engaging with this *early* enough for design decisions to be adjusted before Flow gets to major rollouts.
Romaine, if the Dutch uses of features like templates are not being taken into account in how features are designed, I suggest contacting the Engineering community liaisons to make your needs known. I'm also sending this email to Rachel so she can consider having one of her employees reach out to you and the Dutch Wikipedia community.

Thanks for the initiative Pine. Romaine and I know each other and spent a great deal of last July talking about template usage on the Dutch Wikipedia in the context of VisualEditor :) . I'm not on the Flow team (I don't work with VE anymore either) so I can't speak for experience there, but I do know that thanks to Romaine's advocacy within the community and to me that VisualEditor was never enabled by default on the Dutch Wikipedia. This occurred because of consideration of the special-use case that community has built with templates. It was intense time for sure, but the right decision was certainly made as far as the Dutch Wikipedia goes.
