In the meantime, though, I'd be more than happy to provide what guidance I can, to you or to anyone else interested in taking up this project; to that end, I would suggest starting by looking at Template:Template metadata (though if anyone does, you should keep in mind I never got that developed to the point of being deployable). I've just realized. As an admin of Templates.wikia you can at least create a forum for converting wikitext modules into Lua based ones, to expedite the process. Also considering that a staff member is an admin of that wikia too, perhaps they can make this a global endeavor. Something highlighted in the global/local notifications, requesting people to submit their templates for conversion and requesting coders to help tackle them.

Also it would be useful to have a list of most frequently accessed template pages in the wikia. At least that'll make it easier to add threads in the forums for each conversion request.
