Firstly, the change has unfortunately had to be reverted, as it caused problems for a script which uses the raw "wiki" text of the templates it replaces. The technicalities are beyond me, but I hopeful that there will be an early resolution. This despite widespread appeals for comment before the change was made!

That's being looked at, but the situation is extremely complex, both because there are a vast number of templates which contain addresses, with no standardisation, and because there are a number of contradictory and competing uses, including parsing of the raw wiki text. There is hidden metadata, metadata entered twice, for different purposes, and metadata entered with no formatting or sub-division (names, addresses, etc.).
