I don't think I properly understand the problem this is trying to solve. To be
honest it sounds like a solution looking for a problem.

Basically what I'm asking:
*Does it really make sense to store what type of word the title is, instead of
just how to display it. Mapping types of words -> how to display them sounds
like something that would vary a lot by culture (Or even in english wikis that
have different traditions)
*What problem (Other than perhaps ideological) does moving the data out of
templates actually solve?
