Noted. So far, I've taken the "black box" approach to Wikipedia's
markup: an external perspective allows me to optimize code without
having to consider organizational constraints inside the black box.
Also, I don't really know how the internal systems work, and the
braces in the template code scare me. And what do you mean by "space
messages"?
In due course, I hope to find some internal collaborators who will
join me in the quest :-)
