- Wikipedia has hundreds of thousands of infrastructure/editor templates
- Nearly every template we use today had to be imported from Wikipedia manually
- The documentation for the templates are moved separately for larger scale templates
- After import they need to be cleared of any calls to non-existent templates or pages
