Improving templates
Since you brought it up here, I'll go ahead and share what I personally think is needed in the template space and what I haven't either had the time or the motivation to complete yet.

Firstly, getting a grasp on it is difficult because the automated Special Pages are filled with what is almost spam and stuff that just isn't helpful. The only coherent way to work with them I believe is categories. This is the starting area. There's three problems in the template space; incomplete imports (for example the user help templates with features in documentation or cases where there are module errors because those were incomplete), messy documentation which hasn't been fully adapted to Miraheze (we can look at examples if you/me/others find them) and incomplete categorization (templates just floating around in orphaned categories or none at all or done inconsistently, again usually because of messy import). It's all busywork, depends how much you'd be interested in. I think where possible templates should be simplified because we really don't need a lot of module gunk. Care should be taken not to change too aggressively to cause further mess and collateral but if you're interested in this we could collaborate. --Raidarr (talk) 17:20, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
