Most of the templates in our project, imho are just more clutter.
The number of people who know how to use any particular template, can probably be counted with a box of marbles. However when others see the templates, they just shy away, they don't bother to try to learn them.
If we want to make things easier for editors, we should scrape templates entirely. What they add to the project is not worth, what they detract.

Yes, as it stands right now it would be easier to code eBay or Amazon pages. What we are dealing with is a display of prowess. Because of my work on Wikinfo I have messed around with nearly every single template. Template:California-south-geo-stub, indeed!
