is to
standardise the field names in them as much as possible per wiki.
The reason? To enhance machine readability of data in them. People are
SERIOUSLY INTERESTED in this.
Another useful thing: after an article is parsed, write all the
templates it uses and their parameters in the database. Even if at first
it isn't possible to read this data on Wikipedia, Toolserver could do
wonders with it :)
