I have an opinion on this! (He shouted from the DC wiki).

I have no experience with Lua (and frankly their claims that it's easier to understand than wiki markup are ludicrous). But I do know that our issues with footnotes and references began when they implemented it, and not before.

Yes, removing the Cid template does fix it, but if, one day, they are going to come back and demand that both wikis switch all of the page template infoboxes to Lua, (which will therefore mean removing templates like Cid from every page), that's going to be a problem.

If they hate dpl so much, they ought to find us a workable replacement. We are using it to do a lot of awesome stuff, and we'll lose a lot of it if we can't use it in the simplest of places.

So, wah wah wah, on my part. I want to keep Cid. Of course, Wikia is not forthcoming in offering solutions that don't involve us using as little dpl as possible.
