Good idea. Is there some way this can be done on a per-namespace basis, though? A lot of Wikipedia: pages (e.g. [[Wikipedia:Template messages]]) transclude a lot of templates; the use of {{tl}} has also become quite pervasive, both in Wikipedia: and in Talk:
{{tl}} should be substituted.
Does it work when substituted now? I know there were some issues with that before.
In any case, if we were to do this, we would need a bot to go through and substitute the massively-used shorthand templates: {{tl}}, {{user}}, {{vandal}}, {{admin}}, etc.
Some of those are convenient. For example, on [[WP:LA]], if the admin2 template were substituted, and later changed, someone would have to go through and change every listing by hand.
