Description cerejota 2009-02-13 02:40:46 UTC 
I was talking with a fellow editor at en-wiki, and we agreed that for many cases, the (semi)automatic transclusion of templates via categorization would be could to have.

For example, when using the {{infobox}} template, being able to specify additional navigation templates to appear in the "See Also", without having to do it again. 

This might seem like lazyness, but when dealing, say, with elected officials or sports figures, where changes can happen all at once, this could be very powerful.

I tried sandboxing solutions, using CSS, but it would be better to have this be a function of the template/category markup.
