Tom,
I'm not sure how much can be "simplified" using wiki templates, but they are 
great for automating some things and providing consistency of presentation and 
appearance (not that different in functionality from LO templates). I am far 
from an expert on this topic. We used a lot of them on the old OOo wiki, but 
most were set up by other people. I've put this on my to-do list, including 
copying some of my favourites from OOo.
