Being one of the early Quest text creators, I basically used the previous quests as informal templates, and others have taken up the practice as well. It helps to have the extra flexibility because templates have to be edited at the source, whereas standalone pages can be edited in bits and pieces to give them their own unique flavor (like not all of them have Trivia). Templates are best used when you want the _exact same text_ to appear in multiple places, or in the case of infoboxes, mostly similar stuff with some values tweaked.

It might be _possible_ to write a quest text template, though, because I can see the advantages in it -- for example, just putting in one variable (the pet name) and getting the entire pet/mount lines filled out. Hmm.

I need for this project I'm on at work to be done already so I can really get back to working on heavier stuff here more. :P
