Central Global Repository for Templates, Lua modules, and Gadgets
We could use a single location where to keep templates, Lua modules, and Gadgets that are used on all the wikipedia projects. Just like images from commons can be used on other projects, code from such site would be visible to all the projects. The current system of 100's of out of sync copies of the same templates or Lua modules occasionally synchronized with the original is very hard to maintain. --Jarekt (talk) 20:06, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

- Support As a prerequisite for a centralised gadget repository, the long-running "Gadgets 2.0" project needs to be finished off, which is something I'd also like to see Community Tech work on as part of this wishlist item (should it pass the voting phase).

Inserting templates (tables) in PDF and Books
Since... well, don't know since when, books and PDFs are not rendering information inside templates. As lots of information is inside templates (also happens with tables) all of this is not rendered when you download the file in PDF. -Theklan (talk) 22:18, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

- Support Very much non-trivial to fix. But Collection/OCG is essentially unmaintained, so it would be nice for Community Tech to take this on and fix our half-baked PDF generation system. This, that and the other (talk) 13:26, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

A powerful, handy TemplateTiger
Currently, TemplateTiger feeds on dumps and is very unhandy, if you are dealing with high-use templates. Therefore please, oh WMF, please provide a tiger which prowls through templates live and which can be piloted as easy as catscan (when it's available). → «« Man77 »» [de] 18:40, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

- Support I don't expect a live version to be more time-consuming than some expensive regex searches. --mfb (talk) 12:32, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
