Some figures from dewiki: We currently have 10 templates that generate icons,
but they are rarely combined. The vast majority of our 1125000 articles (99.5%)
has no icons. 5762 articles have 1 icon, 121 articles have 2 icons, and I'm not
aware of any situation where an article could have 3 or more icons.

We also have 11 templates that create text elements; the most used is the
coordinates template with nearly 200000 transclusions (18% of all articles).
The text can be rather long because Swiss towns have their coordinates in WGS84
and the Swiss national format (therefore the tiny font size of 10px), and they
can also occur together with icons (see e.g. [[de:Tägermoos]]). The text
templates are deliberately made so that no more than 1 can be used on a page
(they would overlap).

I'm a little worried about the order in which the items appear in the wikitext
becoming significant. That's fine for icons, but it may be desired to
differentiate between icons and text elements. At dewiki, in most cases the
coordinates are transcluded from and infobox the top of the article that can't
be moved. Similarly, the icons are transcluded from a template at the bottom of
the article that can't be moved either.
