Discussion on task force mandate

Perhaps some time would be saved if it were possible to include some background material from pedia without actually having to re-type or copy+paste it into news. You're all familiar how templates work? Well, for example if you would be able to bring in the introduction from pedia article in the same way to news article, it could save some time.

Example new wikinews article

  • Template "{{w:en:XX/Intro}}" would display the first few lines of the wikipedia article about XX (no need to copy/paste or write again) in the wikinews article
  • Template "{{w:en:Miles Davis/Infobox}}" would display the infobox from the wikipedia article, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis (wouldn't that box with Miles' picture be great in wikinews article?)
