Copying properties into subpages is no less redundant than the current list-situation. It only overcomplicates templates. Something most users already don't understand, yet we want them to do understand them so they can work with them.

Balagog gro-Nolob nailed the biggest issue: Our lists are long and we will hit that transclusion limit. Furthermore, our wiki is notorious for our slow loading time. Using an inmense amount of tranclusions only worsens this.

Dynamic Page Listing seems the way to go for me. Those are enabled but disfavored as well since they can hit performance as well. But I think this won't be a big issue since our page properties don't get changed often, and we can cache those list-pages after generation.

Lots of wikis effectively use DPL for this purpose and it is very effective in reading specific values from all sorts of infoboxes from listed pages.

(We do have variables enabled by the way)
