People interestedEdit
- This is a good idea, mainly because I would LOVE to restore the old SharedIP templates (the ones with the blue box and the big "Attention:") to English Wikipedia. Putting "Welcome to Wikipedia! Create an account!" into an anti-vandal template is just dumb. Lojbanist (talk) 08:46, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
- Good idea. This will make it simpler to contribute to multiple wikis. New wikis will also start faster. We will all gain time. -- Thibdx (talk) 03:48, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Strong support. Very good idea to globalize some hundred-thousand of templates! Infoboxes, cite-webs, external link templates etc. Фред-Продавец звёзд (talk) 16:38, 3 May 2019 (UTC)- Strong support Changing my earlier perspective, this is actually brilliant idea, much easier than transferring templates from another project. Would help in many ways to projects that lacks templates. maybe we should make his a part of commons. Arep Ticous 17:22, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
Support Already working on such a project on mediawiki with Yurik Capankajsmilyo (talk) 09:31, 11 May 2019 (UTC)- Strong support Having recently become an admin on a smaller wiki, yeah.. this is badly needed. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 00:26, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

- Strong support Would allow usage of templates like, say, the {{strong support}} template on any site with ease, and allow sharing module code between wikis in an accessible manner.--Moonythedwarf (talk) 21:17, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
