DPL would be cool (something even cooler would be something like SemanticMediawiki), but perhaps we don’t need it.

Template:TableDAActiveCell is an excellent approach. I just would recommend to change the parameter. Instead of invoking it as, say, ⟨⟨TableDAActiveCell|Giant Sloth⟩⟩, we should want to invoke it as ⟨⟨TableDAActiveCell|tundra3⟩⟩ (or ⟨⟨TableDAActiveCell|tundra|3⟩⟩, i.e., with 2 parameters). Then, inside the template, instead of ⟨⟨#switch: | Giant Sloth⟩⟩, we’d do ⟨⟨#switch: | tundra3⟩⟩ (or, if the #switch statements can be nested, ⟨⟨#switch: | tundra | #switch: | 3 … ⟩⟩ ⟩⟩.

This way, we’d never have to hard-code which dinos are active again (at least not all over the place.) WIN! :-)
