Would you consider adding the ParserFunctions extension to this wiki? This would add more flexibility and power to the way that templates can be used. Specifically, I have some ideas about useful ways to parameterise repeated sections through the use of templates that should improve the consistency of wiki pages.

For a couple of examples of more complex templates I have written use the ParserFunctions, see:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Stelio/Roman
• http://stelio.net/stiki/Template:LoneWolf

(View the wiki source code for these pages to see how they work.)

ParserFunctions is a stable and well-established extension, safe enough that it is used on Wikipedia itself. :-)

If you are amenable, but unsure of how to add an extension, I can guide you through the (very simple) process since I'm a wiki administrator elsewhere myself.
