In my experience they're very suitable for this. You can have named
parameters, and then call a template like so:
{{MyTemplate
|parameter1=
This is a really long chung of text that is being passed into the
template as parameter1 and can be used there.
|otherparameter=
This is another longish sentence which will be passed to the template
under the name otherparameter.
}}
If you care to look at the page "Things To Do" and the matching
"Template::ToDoTask" - a scheme like this could easily be used for
proposals etc.
Bye
