I feel like we already have to correct a lot, mainly because most people don't know how to use the grids 'properly' (Note: I realize that the grids can be rather complex and I don't expect most users to know how to use them either.). The problems I see are not using the shortcuts you added to minimize source code, or not defining links or names correctly when required. If anything, I think that this new method would make correcting things easier. I think that using would also be simpler for the average user to learn how to use, rather than

Yes, this would definitely help it to be more user friendly. I will attempt to create the Recipe template when I have time, but I'm not quite sure how to yet. If you have the time, go right ahead please!

Yes, this is a concern of my own, although for this idea in particular, I think the effect of added complexity is negligible. As I stated above, most users do not know how to use the grid templates to begin with. I would imagine that anyone who already knows how to use the grids properly would be able to easily understand the template code as well, thus the user base that can create recipes would remain the same. Of course, if anyone wants to learn grid templates, or any other code related thing about the wiki, we have a page which contains some information on templates. Since it seems this is not sufficient, should it be expanded to contain information on grids and other templates?
