Hi everyone,

some weeks ago I came across a proposal to allow for the inclusion of macros 
from commons. This would mean e.g. that it would no longer be neccessary to 
replicate babel templates between the wikipedias.

The other benefit that was proposed was the simplification of interwiki links.

One would simply define a template:interwiki_english_article_name with the 
complete list of interwiki links. Then all those other languages would just 
have to add {{interwiki_english_article_name}} at the bottom. 

For the transformation one would need a special robot, but after that we would 
no longer need the interwiki robots and all the interwiki links would always 
be up-to-date.

Are there any plans to make this possible?

Kind regards,

Heiko Evermann
