: Good point - I didn't know about this recommendation. It should be possible to automated this transformation using the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot Pywikibot] framework and the [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mwparserfromhell mwparserfromhell]. We could change the [[Template:Tool/Preload|tool template]] now and use a bot to modify the rest?

Another thing I noticed is that for most entries the ''purpose'' field in the infobox more or less repeats what's already in the ''Description'' section. So maybe it's better to leave it out altogether (on the other hand it might be useful for automated discovery/analysis)?

: The intention was the other way around - that the 'purpose' field was a brief description that might be published and re-used in other forms (due to being in the infobox), and the Description section should be more detailed.
