Translations:Global templates/Relationship to strategy/8/en

Make incremental but meaningful changes to our core products: The templates form a part of the core product, for any definition of “core product”. If MediaWiki is the core product, templates are one of its key features. If Wikipedia, Commons, Wikidata, Wikisource, other wikis, and their reading and editing experiences, are the core product, then templates are used in them ubiquitously, and should be treated at the highest level, and not just taken for granted. Making templates global is incremental because it preserves the syntax and the quick deployment aspects of templates and only changes the way in which templates are shared across wikis, and it is meaningful because it will directly address several usability and discoverability issues.
