Obviously it would be better if this

Mediawiki itself, but until it is, what makes these templates so bad?
There's nothing that can be done with these advanced templates that
can't be done just as easily and with a significantly lower entry
level for editing with single-level, uncomplicated templates.
Which, in answer to your question, is how templates were meant to be
played with.
Totally wrong. BTW, the duty of prove is on your side. Ah, yes and
if you fail you remove the template, I see.
Shure yes. We have invented them solely because we intend to shock
people with ugly stuff and because we are wanna-be coders.
Ah yes, and because we want to create DOS attack vectors for the
servers.
Indeed we must be stupid. Strange, that we have not been banned
yet.
Another silly one is "templates should be used sparingly". We have
a concept that should not be used. Why? Not because of the concept,
because some people make unproven claims about the implementation.
Shure. Remove every template. They are not needed to create the wiki
pages. We can also write html directly.
BTW I use my own html compiler for that task (for my non wiki pages).
I'm shure you would do that by hand. Because your code is not meant to
change, right?
