I know exactly what you mean. Tools-->Options, eh?
I had meant to send Nelson a message asking about that. Tikiwiki has a
dynamic variables feature, but it doesn't get parsed, and it won't
support multi-line variables. For now, I've been copying/pasting from
other articles.

If we can generate a list of these repetitive pieces of text, I can
create a "TikiWidgets" text file, where all of these text items are
available. That file could be made available on the authoring page.
That is--if the software option cannot be worked out.

1. Go to Admin... Dynamic content (which is tiki-list_contents.php).
2. Type a description for your new content block and click save.
3. Click on "Program" for the content block you just created.
4. In description now, enter the content (wiki syntax is allowed
here), specify the publish date for this content and then click save.
5. You can create different versions of the content that take effect
at different publish dates (like a TV show).
6. In articles, use the syntax {content id=x} to insert the content
block id number x.
I have given you Jason, Steve access to this feature (Chris already
had permission).

I tried it on http://support-stage.mozilla.org/tiki-index.php?page=Web+site+colors+are+wrong
in the section "Web sites not allowed to use their own colors". A
couple problems I see
- Having to specify a numeric ID isn't nice.
- It's not parsing plugins.
