Wikipedia is supposed to be this thing everybody can edit. I think you misprioritise the whole thing. Consider it a feature, not a base functionality. Most installations do not use 10% of the possible features available, due to lack of knowledge, time, bravery or else. Writing templates with code is a rare art by my observation, most of the larger MW installations never have used it in the first hand. You would like to remove TeX (math) input because the language is complex? And since it'd be an extension I guess, it would imply that you want to forbid(?) creating complex extensions? That's unrealistic. Geeks need this functionality, so ungeeks may or may not care about that, it doesn't really matter. If it's easier to understand than not: that's a plus. By the way I wouldn't touch PHP with a teen feet pole and rubber gloves, but I'm fine with current template syntax. We're individuals with our own preferences. ;-) grin _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
