Import templates from Wikipedia #30

I noticed that templates like {{additional citation needed}} don't work. This causes a lot of redlinks which clutter the page and make it hard to read and look very ugly. Moreover, these templates are useful so they shouldn't just get commented out or get removed.

Could you please import templates? The templates would not be editable by users and wouldn't be viewable, it would just use them, like how it was apparently already done for templates like cite web (cite arxiv and cite magazine are missing too). They could/should get regularly updated so they don't break and get the latest changes such as new template parameters. This would also be useful if a page gets transferred to Wikipedia again.

It would also be useful if any used navbars, navboxes and so on used on the restored articles would get imported as well (they currently break and display as a redlink too). In these cases an alternative to importing could be transcluding them somehow.

#6 may be required for this.
