So how is this necessary over template types? I'm not saying I like template types better, but since all the cases you listed seem to be template using cases, new tags support seems like more coding for less functional advantage. Template types are determining how Wikia reads templates, semantic tags determine how any other page-parsing engines reads them, like search engines or page readers for blind people.

Oh, so for mostly machine reading and SEO... I guess that might be worth it. But it may not be worth it to Fandom. They are very slow to implement features that don't obviously benefit their bottom line. Helping users hasn't been a big priority for them lately.
