It's not about cite templates alone.  And I'm glad you say "we're going to have
a new solution in the next year" - Lua has been committed to but it was also
the proposed solution back in 2009, and I think it's rather "I will believe it
when I see it".

I don't think injunctions like "Please don't change this unless you are a
developer." are very cool. It is quite possible that Lua will be decided
against (as it was before) and then this should be re-opened. 

And the previous "WONTFIX - please don't change" was predicated on a stray
remark by Tim Starling in a mail list. At WikiMania 2011 Tim changed his mind
several times on the best solution including Lua, parser functions, Victor's
scripting extension. 

Or maybe we should change this bug to "provide some form of string handling,
and soon" because otherwise we might have Lua kicking around for another 6
years and still be no further forward.
