At the present situation champion information/data is stored behind two to four hops away from the actual article. Editing such articles are tiresome as klicking the edit button does not take you to edit the section, instead you are taken into a wild goose hunt inside of multiple templates thats preview does not even give the preview as it is using some other template thus using the unedited data.

The idea of using separate page for different sections is good as they can then also be also categorized but if it is done through templates then they cannot be edited directly nor used for anything else. Sure it is nice way to bloat a wiki but it has little practical usage except when wanting to show off mad template skillz. The same data separation could be done using the more common (best practice) method found in e.g. wikipedia where transclusion is used.

Bringing the data to the actual page would make editing better (threshold, clarity, impact, consistency) and using templates only for displaying it nicely would also make the editors and readers life easier (style changes). Now they are one and the same.

Just making a remark after the deep templating style change was made, all the extra info in the wiki (the salt that makes this different from other wikis) is dragging two to seven patches behind. Usually outdated and when wiki has outdated info, it starts to lose its interest except for nice pictures.
