[edit | edit source]Abstract
[edit | edit source]Wikitext templates began simply, but have taken on a life of their own. Although much of on-wiki life depends on them, only a small number of people are comfortable editing them.
We want to explore different ways to make templates easier to work with. A repository of Global templates would allow zero-effort reuse across languages and projects, like what Commons does for images. “Component” template syntax flips the relationship between logic and template, and provides a bundled format for dependencies and subtemplates.
Session Outcomes
[edit | edit source]- Template Styles is already available, and underutilized.
- Translatable Modules will make it easier to use Scribunto modules on multi-language wikis.
- Template Translation was the highest-ranked proposal voted on during the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey.
- Component Template resembles Vue and Web Components standards. The RFC is open for discussion and prototyping.
