Ah, ok; I thought you were referring to subst:. I never worked "outside" a wiki, and to be honest, I'm not even sure if any of us has the user rights to install MediaWiki extensions.

I've read the description for the labeled section transclusion. It would be interesting for some other purposes. Unfortunately, it cannot be used together with template parameters and parser functions, which excludes it for our goals because we definitely have to calculate with the transcluded values.

Semantic MediaWiki is HUGE. It seems to be extremely powerful, and these properties seem to be exactly what we'd need for a decent data handling. I guess it is a specialty of our type of wiki that we have so many "items" that have large amounts of properties.

Our template system, on the other hand, has its limits. I'm still trying to reduce the number of template calls when a simple box (or another item) is displayed. Long box lists tend to exceed the maximum number of template includes. And a template like Weighted average common boxes (still undocumented, but alrady in use) even produces 84 other template calls for one single use...

But so far the system works. Using the system for vehicles would be not so dangerous in terms of template include size because lists like the Nitro efficiency index would only use 3 temlates per row.

No, the user wasn't Geceo, it was admin talk. :-) But I've noticed that Geceo is a very busy editor.
