Fair points, but there are 12842 transclusions of "{{Diff}}" on en.WP; this template will make life easier for the people who use it.
I have had to remove templates from pages where they run into the too many templates problem
If template trasclusion numbers are too high, "{{Diff}}" can be "Subst:", leaving an internal, not external, link behind.
does anyone know if we have a way of centralising templates that are likely to be useful or recommended for all wikis?
I think sharing Lua modules, rather than the actual templates, may be better.
