Description

When translating articles with Content Translation, users have to recreate infoboxes, coordinates and other kinds of templates in the target wikipedia.

Mapping templates automatically is not trivial, an Wikidata support for templates may be needed.

This is an epic ticket where requests for especific template support can be connected to.
