It could frequently come out a big problem of collisions with existing
templates with different code. I feel that synonimous templates, with
different features, are a very subtle and harmful touble. This raises the
long-standing problem of "redundancy and coherence" so deeply afflicting

I guess that's what I mean, it's been a few years since I last saw

Note that things like {{Cite}} and {{trim}} should probably
be an extension that adds a parser function, not a template.
Although the overlap between extensions adding parser
functions and and templates getting tighter with WikiScripts,
in general templates are for re-used wikitext and formatting.
IMHO, the idea of a decent set of common, shared, english-named, standard
templates is really a a good one. Noone have nothing against the fact that
reserved words of any programming language is english-named and standard.
I presume, that many of existing templates aren't used into ns0 or other

On wikimedia projects that are not Wikipedia (Wikia in specific comes
