Hello, you can take a look to project templatetiger (from Stefan Kühn and me) that extract all templates from some wikis by parsing the dumps.
Example Template:Information from Commons: http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/templatetiger/tt-table4.php?template=Information&lang=commonswiki Docu: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Vorlagenauswertung/en Disadvantage: The update-intervall is only 2-3 months. With Toolserver-account you would have access to the database of the tool. With Toolserver-account you could also ask the commons-DB to give you e.g. all images with Template:PD-old back. I'm waiting also for years that the Foundation solve this problem of structual data. Some activities from Wikimedia seems to be in http://render-project.eu but I'm not sure if they will come to a result.
