Yes. The new VE allows for embedded templates. At least, that's the way I understood what I read.

Admittedly, the Extensions project is complex, but we won't be editing it very often once it's complete. Frequently edited pages, off the top of my head, include:
 * SO/VO locos
 * SO/VO wagons
 * new buildings, plus the relevant theme pages
 * new decorations, plus the relevant theme pages
 * pages that list award items
 * pages that list Shop items (esp. buildings & decorations)
 * other stuff I know I'm missing but can't think of right now

That's just the pages that get edited frequently. Obviously, the templates for those pages should have TD added first. Then we can start attacking the pages with less-used templates.

Probably the best idea is to find a frequently-used template and add the TD, then let the community give input to make sure it does everything we want and doesn't do things we find unnecessary. We may even want to do that with the first 2, 3, or even 5 templates that get TD. After that, we'll have an established set of guidelines, and people can start adding TD on their own, which, hopefully, will accelerate the process.

I might as well start. I'll write TD for infobox train, since we always use it to make two new locos every time a new SO is released. The template is locked down, so I can't add the TD to the template, but I can write it so the community can give feedback. Once it's approved, one of the admins can add it to the template.
