Am I correct in thinking you can only have article style layout on one database at a time still?
Fortunately, you are not. It's a per-database configuration and can be used on any database since 4.0.

Please, please, please, please re-add the ability to export templates without a database. Lack of premade MP templates for the articles database, including feed block templates, is directly related to Pages requiring we export the entire database, which makes absolutely no sense for the database that is preinstalled, and doesn't actually work for it, and that's not even considering the point that block templates cannot be exported via any means.
Those of us that can code cannot help those that cannot premade in this area with the way it is now. I cannot even do a custom locally with the way it is now, as there is no way to transfer such, which ends up with me working on a live site. Not cool. I was actually waiting for a topic such as this to be made. If somebody with a basic clue and can code like myself is struggling due to this, I can't imagine how painful this is for the layman, and the surprised look from staff was not expected... I put in a feedback topic a while ago begging for this to be restored, and have left it since then, but it is a very real need.

I don't understand the fuss. if using utf8_unicode_ci, characters using 4 bytes such as emoji will be refused by the database. if that is an issue, simply update the collation? it's not like it's a different character set, utf8mb4 is a superset of utf8 in mysql, you can go from utf8 to utf8mb4 easily, there's just no going back from utf8mb4 to utf8 without losing data once there is 4-byte data in the database.

Large community? You have a problems with sitemap!

opentype, I fully understand your position, and it indeed seems nonsensical to think google would drop already indexed pages for lack of a sitemap. Thing is.... the Google 'Fred' algorithm update actually arbitrarily culled thousands if not millions of pages from google's index. not as any penalty for black hat, but as a measure to curb their own storage needs, and the only thing getting them back in google's index is the sitemap. It's not the lack of a sitemap entry itself causing them to be dropped, it's Fred that dropped them, and the sitemap as the main route of recovery.
