Thread:Talk:Visual editor/software design/Table start/table end templates/reply

Our goal is to for the answer to be no, it will not be disallowed, because all existing Wikitext should still work. However, the editor will still not know that the top, mid and bottom templates are in any way related, so the user experience will suffer greatly compared to using templates with an encapsulated model. Eventually we want to see the ability for the template call/transclusion user interface to be customizable using on-wiki template parameter definitions and gadget code - but the editor will still need templates to be encapsulated for these user interfaces to make sense to the user.
