Bug ID: 63889
Summary: GWToolset should allow to use custom templates
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: GWToolset

I understand the design choice to whitelist a specific list of common templates
(Artwork, Photograph, etc.), but advanced users have valid use cases for using
a custom template.
The most important one in my eyes is the use of ingestion templates, as they
allow easily to do super-advanced formatting & metadata ingestion in plain
wikitext − a method very popular with batch uploaders at the moment.
I realise this sort of defeats one of the purposes of the GWToolset − to map
metadata − but it is very frustrating not being able to use the full power of
wikitext for mapping.
(See

for an example of such a template)
