</div><div><br></div><div>I think they make it harder to edit the wiki.<br>People can find it hard to find out how to edit the template.<br>Also, it uses this ugly and highly redundant syntax not used anywhere else.<br></div>
<div><br></div><div>It should eventually become a relic of the past, and be changed for some kind of smart page that reads a list of tags classified into sections and queries the metadata from their tag pages (avoiding any duplication of information).<br>
