...or, from what I have seen, if you do it only on enwiki then users will just create another fork of the template on smaller wikis and: * keep using the OLD and BROKEN template whenever they can (easy for them) * use the NEW and FIXED template only on pages which are translated from enwiki (easy again... people are lazy) This is why we have proposals like https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GlobalTemplates https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global-Wiki
