(→‎Slight variation of the current architecture: I wonder if my suggestion really would add that much, except for a lot of work now)

::::: Having looked through how the template actually is used and what its purpose really is some days ago I noted that (at least as of now) the only real gain from my suggestion is an ever so slight bit more consistency and flexibility and a little less typing, but for the price of touching all the pages the template is used on.  I wonder if it would worth it.  If not, sorry for the noise.

:::::: This is an illusion from transclusion ;)  The number of articles using this is actually quite low.  I have used it for all of the {{tl|repo link}} subtemplates, so any page that uses one of these subtemplates will appear in a [[Special:WhatLinksHere]] search.  I think your idea is great for improving this as a general framework.  It allows wiki text to be written in a way that would remain relevant when, in the distant future, another major infrastructure change is required.  It would extend its usefulness for abstracting away the infrastructure information so that old wiki pages can remain relevant for the decades to come.
