Hi,
The "template problem" has created quite some debate (rightly). I just hope that new people read the old threads about it (this has been discussed quite often in the past) and I think all possible solutions have been proposed and debated enough.
Although I don't like the current band aid (templates are always embedded with most recent version) it works for the time being in our test wiki and we should focus IMHO atm a bit more on severe bugs and UI issues (and then later come back to templates) like the ones posted on http://wikixp.org/qa/index.php5/Wishlist_and_bugs (please less wishlist for the time being).
I'd suggest some systematical review of the UI by everyone (and trying to confirm, solve, etc. bugs of others).
