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
to
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.
Erik
