Would you care to elaborate? Wiki-text doesn't really have a
philosophy, it's just what developers felt was a good idea at the time
(and later regretted in many cases, I believe!). It's generally
intended to be simple to use, but cite templates are certainly simpler
to use than writing out the reference by hand, so I don't know what
you mean...
