Hoi,
My instict would be to slash and burn the existing templates. That is not
the way to go. So I would introduce a new functionality that has new
functionality that is to replace the old crap. Once the new functionality is
functional, I would prevent any modifications of the old stuff and replace
the old stuff whenever. Priority would be given for replacing the
performance hogs.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
The argument that a language should be readable and easy to learn is

relevant and powerful. A language that is only
good for geeks is

to the use of MediaWiki. Our current templates
and template syntax are
horrible. Wikipedia is as a consequence hardly editable by everyone.
Thanks,

I agree. Could you make some concrete suggestion about how you would go
about improving it?
