Rewriting a commonly used template for the wiki

Tigerfell님이 English로 2018년 9월 4일에 게시함.

I am currently planning to rewrite the Relation template for the OpenStreetMap-Wiki. You can find the current version along with its documentation in the wiki. In the following text I would like to outline the objections behind my proposed rewrite and invite you to participate.

Purpose of the template

common appearance and functionality (general goal of templates)
maintainability as the wiki markup is just saved once, so if a tool is obsoleted, it can be removed from the template
referring to relations in wiki articles
creating links to tools automatically
often used to document the mapping status of relations in wikitables

Reasons for a rewrite

This template is commonly used and causes many pages to exceed their page limits. You can see the effects of this on the bottom of the wiki page about Beijing buses.
Some of the tools featured in the template are not accessible anymore.
The default settings cause all tool links to appear, but this is often not desired by the editors.
The template’s code is hard to maintain as it is currently written in wiki markup including parser functions, thus not allowing line breaks or additional white spaces.
