You are right, that's a lot of reading!

I want to make a couple of corrections to what FishTank said, but I'm not sure what thread to join (if any). Can you point me to the best place? Or should I start a new thread?

Anyway, to the admin issue. I would say that having a firm opinion and sticking to is is not admin abuse, although I understand that you are concerned that he is using the strength of his admin position to get his way. If he were blocking people or using his other abilities to get his way then maybe, but even then staff would be unlikely to intervene - local issues should generally be solved locally.

One thing I was wondering about as I was reading - have you thought of a possible compromise in using "subst:"? If the person adding the value wrote (for example) then on save the text of the template would be saved, not the code, so:  would be saved instead of

The advantage is that the next person who edits will see the code of the image, not the template code, and will be able to use the RTE Visual mode. The downside is that if you wanted to change all the size of all the electricity icons at once, you wouldn't be able to do that via the template (which is a bad idea for templates that are used a lot anyway)

Maybe that will help?
