Translations:Global templates/Proposed specification/12/en

Elevator pitch
A large part of the functionality of Wikimedia sites is implemented in templates and Lua modules. In their current form they cannot be shared across different sites and languages and they are hard to integrate with modern ways of creating and editing articles—Visual Editor and Content Translation. This causes waste of contributors’ effort, and difficulties for new editors and smaller projects. Making it possible to share them across sites will make software development faster and more robust and will let editors focus more on writing text.
