ExE-Boss added a comment to T252038: <style> tag output for TemplateStyles by Parsoid has three CDATA wrappers.
The simple fix is to escape the <![CDATA[...]]> tags in a CSS comment, e.g. change:
<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r4662631" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" about="#mwt1" data-parsoid='{"pi":[[{"k":"1"}]],"dsr":[28,40,null,null]}' data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"T","href":"./Template:T"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"285463"}},"i":0}}]}'><![CDATA[<![CDATA[<![CDATA[.mw-parser-output .phui-tag{background-color:#e7e7e7;border:1px solid #e7e7e7;border-radius:3px;font:13px"Segoe UI","Segoe UI Web Regular","Segoe UI Symbol","Lato","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.51em;padding:0 4px}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a.external{background:none!important;padding:0!important}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a,.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a:visited{color:black}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a{font-weight:bold}]]]]]]><![CDATA[><![CDATA[>]]]]><![CDATA[>]]></style>
to:
<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r4662631" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" about="#mwt1" data-parsoid='{"pi":[[{"k":"1"}]],"dsr":[28,40,null,null]}' data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"T","href":"./Template:T"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"285463"}},"i":0}}]}'>/*<![CDATA[*//*<![CDATA[*//*<![CDATA[*/.mw-parser-output .phui-tag{background-color:#e7e7e7;border:1px solid #e7e7e7;border-radius:3px;font:13px"Segoe UI","Segoe UI Web Regular","Segoe UI Symbol","Lato","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.51em;padding:0 4px}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a.external{background:none!important;padding:0!important}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a,.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a:visited{color:black}.mw-parser-output .phui-tag>a{font-weight:bold}/*]]>*//*]]>*//*]]>*/</style>

ExE-Boss added a comment to T204371: Replace initial colon in (hash-prefixed) parser function invocation with vertical bar.
Note that there are some parser functions where the : makes sense, ex.: #invoke: or int:, because #invoke: and int: can be thought of as magic namespaces for specially accessing the Module: and MediaWiki: namespaces respectively.
ExE-Boss added a comment to T204370: Behavior switch/magic word uniformity.
- Variables: w/o arguments (probably low priority to migrate):
- {{CURRENTYEAR}} => {{#currentyear}} ? ({{#var...}} is already taken...)

ExE-Boss added a comment to T204283: Serializing extension tags using TemplateData.
The tag-style syntax:
<ext foo="bar"> baz </ext>can be mapped to template-style syntax:
{{#tag:ext|foo=bar|baz}}
