I'm not sure if you realize this, but the item:xxx, skills:xxx, etc. entries exist to service the limited wiki functionality of the Wurm client and should not be redirected to the more complex counterparts. See, for instance, item:foot board. Go into your client, hit F1 then type "wiki foot board" without the quotes. As you can see the ingame wiki client can only really display raw text and ends up showing the user all the formatting commands necessary to make the template. The item:xxx entries are meant to be more sparse just to give players a basic idea of what they're looking at when they use the wiki command in console or when then choose the "What's this?" option from the right click menu.
