I think such templates are used already, but it's not efficient, it won't work on all wikis
Oh? Because of directionality?
Because wikis don't start with a predefined set of templates.
Then we're making things worse. If i import a page, i know i have to also import its included templates. If we change wiki-syntax from language to language, how do i know when importing if <???> tag is an extension, a translated html tag (which my wiki already has but with a different name) or where to get it?
An option could be translating to every mediawiki language setup. But doesn't seem too wise either.
The proposal is Hebrew and Arabic HTML, available on all wikis regardless of content language.
