:The second part of the transclusion / template problem is that there is no logic coding currently built into templates in the MediaWiki software, so that there have been a number of different kludges that have been created to provide for some if / then logic in [[template]]s. The kludges involve either the performance hit from nested templates, or using [[:Category:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] that will break text-based web [[:Category:Browser|browser]] and accessibility software for the visually-impaired. Both solutions also break easily with any changes, and are mostly unintelligible to non-cognoscenti. Especially the people who designed or regular use those "solutions", refuse to acknowledge that there are any problems with them. The best way to go about things IMHO is to create less "universal" templates that don't require any logic coding. | :The second part of the transclusion / template problem is that there is no logic coding currently built into templates in the MediaWiki software, so that there have been a number of different kludges that have been created to provide for some if / then logic in [[template]]s.

For external transclusion into MediaWiki software-based [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]], I've seen at least one wiki that allowed referencing external graphics (sorry, don't remember which one), and all of the Wikimedia projects use the [[Wikimedia Commons]] as a semi-external datafile repository.
