Translations:Global templates/Proposed specification/135/en

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 wikis and languages. Because of this they are hard to integrate with modern ways of creating and editing articles, such as Visual Editor, Wikidata, and Content Translation. They are also hard to adapt to mobile devices. This causes waste of contributors’ effort, and difficulties for new editors and smaller projects. It must become possible to share them across wiki sites, similarly to Commons images. This will make software development faster and more robust and will let editors focus more on writing.
