This is one template that could *really* do with
something built into
the software. If it was even slightly possible that I could work this
myself, I would attempt to do so.
Agreed. Citations and references should really be built into the
software. Lack of sources in articles is a *much* bigger problem than
any of this meta-template nonsense.
Infoboxes and taxoboxes could be built-in, too.
In the meantime, "complex" single templates are better than 15
different forks of the same template.
