It seems that we are talking about two different things here: 1) What would be the markup of template description pages, that will be used to make template editing forms. 2) What would be the markup of a template call, that will be used in the source of article pages to make actual template call. Given that #1 is an entirely new thing, it can have an entirely new markup. I see no reason for it not to be XML. #2 however should be kept as is. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
