I'm still enjoying what I've done with that templating.  I agree that
some official support would be wonderful to see, but I'm going to
brace myself for "mediawiki is not a blog, if you want a blog you
should be using something else"  ;)

I think having that in mind is why I decided to do it myself.. it
works for a single-user environment right now, but it's also made to
be able to use different "styles" -- that style concept could be used
to support multiple users.

I understand there are a few extensions.. I wonder if it's feasible to
push to get one of those absorbed into the mainstream code..  I don't
even know how good any of the extensions are..
