Hoi,
Templates are waiting for the kill. They are hard to use. They are horrible
to maintain. Semantic MediaWiki is something that I do and can understand.
I do agree that a kill is called for and it is those horrid templates.
Thanks,
GerardM

Semantic MediaWiki
I call overkill :-)
Template parameters are a good place to start, we should just use them
better. Example: {{Persondata}} on de.wikipedia, aggregated and
updated continuously, leads to things like:
http://toolserver.org/~apper/pd/person/Jimmy_Wales
Over 380.000 biographies from German Wikipedia, with parsed dates
(where possible), places, etc.
Displaying the data (on a timeline etc) is rather trivial once the
data is available in machine-readable form.
