Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Ability to automatically import all Wikipedia templates and modules

Proposed by Somedrunkaussiepolitician

Proposal summary: Add something that adds all templates, modules, etc. from another wiki (Wikipedia for example) to your Miraheze wiki.

Full proposal: Add something that, when pressed, adds all templates, modules, etc. from Wikipedia or MediaWiki to your Miraheze wiki because it is really annoying to have to add hundreds if not thousands of templates to your wiki so you can actually do stuff.

Oppose

 * 1) This is a sledgehammer to knock down a nail, but I like the idea of allowing a wikipedia-ized set of templates offered by Miraheze to be installed as accessibly as you would alternatively choose to use PortableInfobox and its builder. More options made accessible is good to me. Opposition is primarily because I'd rather not see an inelegant drop of wikipedian structure that a tiny handful of users on this platform would be able to understand. I could support in the case of a simplified version. --Raidarr (talk) 20:59, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Discussion

 * In my opinion, a new ManageWiki tab could do that. (I also suggested a similar thing here)  Anpang 📨 08:19, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Importing all Wikipedia templates/modules would perhaps unnecessarily clutter wikis with hundreds of thousands of pages but maybe a different approach where a predetermined amount of commonly used templates/modules is imported would be a feasible thing to accomplish. As stated by Anpang, perhaps it could be bundled into ManageWiki via a button that loads an assorted mix of common templates and modules. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 20:04, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Viewing this frankly gnarly list, I'd much rather we consider a simplified homebrew version available to import that does not rip wikipedia directly. --Raidarr (talk) 22:26, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * In addition to what Raidarr said, these would also need to be de-Wikipedia-ified. I also think this would eliminate the need for Miraheze Template Wiki. Honestly, I'd be inclined to favour creating a new wiki template "starter pack" on Miraheze Template Wiki, as suggested by Pine/Matsu a little over a year and a half ago on my user talk page. Otherwise, we'll be creating unnecessary clutter on every new Miraheze wiki. Dmehus (talk) 22:29, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
