Template editing

On MDN, templates written in KumaScript are used to automate content generation and customization within pages. Each template is kept in a separate wiki page, with names of the form:
/en-US/docs/Template:template-name

Anyone editing MDN wiki pages can invoke templates via macros.  Because of the power of KumaScript, creation and editing of templates is restricted to trusted users with the necessary experience.
