--- Comment #7 from Matthew Flaschen <[email protected]> ---
Yes, I think the "wiki-specific workflows" is key.  On wikis (including English
Wikipedia) that use:

<ref>{{some template|firstparam=a}}</ref>

with a few key some templates, it's worth allowing a simplified flow for those
(while still providing the full flexibility of arbitrary references and
arbitrary templates where needed).

Within a template, it's also verbose due to the screen layout.  E.g. I would
consider keeping parameter name and value on the same screen (for named
parameters), and making it easy to add the next parameter without going up to
the root.  The latter can be done without the former.

I'd recommend trying ProveIt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ProveIt_GT) on
English Wikipedia if you haven't.  I don't expect you to take the same approach
we did (and don't look at the "parser").  The reference browsing part also
probably doesn't apply, but the add mode in particular shows how the GUI can be
streamlined when it doesn't attempt to be fully general.
