Like some way of making the MediaWiki (this one) point to a variable that's defined in a specific Template that anyone can use? That way a user could put something like and the Template would have instructions to insert the correct name for the Mediawiki?

Princess Platinum, that js is unnecessary and isn't the twitter API, which means it cannot be troubleshooted by twitter if it suddenly fails.. If you create a different MediaWiki page for each account you want and create a widget for it on twitter itself, then you can have multiple accounts able to be inserted by a single template. On the template page I'd put   so that you just need to type in what you wanted. Unfortunately due to twitter's API, you must have a MediaWiki page for every twitter account you want as you need a widget for it on the twitter website. It does use the twiitter API though. You go to your twitter, go to the widget creation menu, creat and customize your widget and place the full embed code into the template. The javascript just appends the code to the container (the only other way besides verbatim to do this.). It is still fully troubleshootable by twitter and is VERY simple to use.
