There is an iw-transclusion branch, which (once finished and polished up) will
become an extension that allows tranclusion of wikitext templates from a
central wiki (e.g. suppose it would be Commons, then you could use the
nicely-translated, micro-formatted {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} on any wiki.

The wikidata system will make it possible to "include" data from another wiki
(the wikidata wiki), but that's very different. That will not include wikitext
but structured data (e.g. facts, dates, numbers, lists etc.) mostly for usage
in articles, infoboxes etc.

The wikitext templates are not something I think will or should be coupled with
"wikidata", those are two very different things. Of course on this
template-repo wiki you can create a template called "Template:JohnDoe-birtdate"
and put "1970-01-01" in there, but thats silly since that is what wikidata is
for (dealing with identification of objects, properly formatting it in the
localized dateformat, dealing with multiple-value lists etc. references,
sources and what not).
