I'm not sure that's the right mailing list for talking about this, but it's
probably the closest

Am I the only one that dislikes the "Map Features" templates on the wiki?
(example: [1])

I think they make it harder to edit the wiki.
People can find it hard to find out how to edit the template.
Also, it uses this ugly and highly redundant syntax not used anywhere else.

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).

I wasn't complaining because I am not willing to learn how to program the
wiki to do that, but it seems lately there is a trend to create these
templates and replace them on some pages.

Some people like these templates because it seems they can make new tag
values appear in non-english pages by adding them in the english page.
But this new value appears in english, so in my opinion it kinda defeats
the purpose of the non-english page...

Cheers,
John
