What would you replace them with? The wikitext

article.
There is nothing in the OP that indicates that we are keeping the
current template code or even that it would be desirable. Whatever
facilities the language we choose has for including other files and
passing arguments to functions is 100% sufficient.
There is no proposal to replace wikitext with PHP (it wouldn't even
work, PHP isn't a markup language, ditto Javascript, Python, etc.),
the proposal is to replace the template code, ie. the code on the
template pages.
