rik, I appreciate your engaging with this *early* enough for design decisions to be adjusted before Flow gets to major rollouts.
Romaine, if the Dutch uses of features like templates are not being taken into account in how features are designed, I suggest contacting the Engineering community liaisons to make your needs known. I'm also sending this email to Rachel so she can consider having one of her employees reach out to you and the Dutch Wikipedia community.

There is one notable exception to the above, which is talk page header templates. One expects updates to a template used as a talk page header

update every page the template is currently transcluded on, which is not happening presently. {{talk header}} is currently transcluded on over 250,000 pages, so were these all Flow pages it would be excessively laborious to edit all of those headers to force a reparsing of the
template
were it updated. So this functionality, or something similar, should probably be included in the Flow MVP [1] if it's deployed on a larger scale. I think it's fine for now.
That makes perfect sense -- thanks for pointing it out. Stale headers would suck indeed.
And now I'm taking a break from wikimedia-l til Monday. The weather's nice, and the monthly posting limit is starting to loom into view. ;-) Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
