I recommend coming up with a list of things that template needs and doesn't need, and then I can revamp it, so it isn't garbage. Back to this... I've be toying with this. For the most part it generates the short, snippet line format. However... (Those 3 are minor, but they keep better in line with the intent of the template use)
 * "Title" is replaced with "Name"
 * "Definition" is replaced with "Text"
 * "SeeAlso" is replaced with "Links"
 * Added "Main". Looking at the list, it should be complete. That would include people that are also credited as writers, directors, producers, etc and have a full blown Staff page. The Actors: version, and the list need a way to point to those main articles. The only down side is I couldn't get {{tl|Main} to work in the template without indenting and italicizing everything.
 * DoB/DoD fields. Both to have a consistency and to allow the "Actors:" article to be added to the appropriate categories. I'm pretty sure the coding I've currently got stops the categories from showing up on Actors.
 * A link to the /Images category, if it exists. Also something that won't pop up on Actors.
 * Also tweaked the Docs page to fit with these being about actors, not terms.
