This wikipedia template (Template:WWE) uses a meta-template called Template:Navbox which is actually implemented with a Lua module called Module:Navbox. This is basically what Fngplg is talking about.

A meta template is a template that is almost never used by itself, but is used by other templates to render something like a navbox template. The actual navbox template code looks more simple, because all the complicated stuff is actually inside the meta template.
