DESCRIPTION:Templates and modules are the most important tool that the comm
 unity of editors on all wikis have to enhance the wiki pages with efficien
 t\, uniform\, structured and nicely-presented data. They are enormously ve
 rsatile\, and they are used on nearly every wiki page\, but because their 
 code is stored on every wiki separately\, this makes collaboration across 
 wikis and sharing of content and structured harder than it should be. Sinc
 e 2004\, there were several proposals to allow cross-wiki transclusion or 
 a "global templates repository"\, and this finally seems to be gaining wid
 e support from the editors community and the leadership. However\, once th
 e infrastructure is in place\, how will the wikis actually collaborate wit
 h each other on developing templates? This panel will present the problem\
 , and attempt to brainstorm on this\, with a famous example relevant to Wi
 kidata: the auto-filled Infobox. Several wikis developed Wikidata-driven i
 nfoboxes with similar functionality\, but different internal implementatio
 n. Will they be able to merge at least some of the code and improve the co
 llaboration and the sharing? We'll try to answer.
