[edit] Optional parameters
This tag specifies that the associated template contains one or more optional parameters, but it seems as though this is true of only some of the templates to which this tag is intended to apply. Is this correct? Of so, that sentence should be removed. —Lifeisunfair 18:45, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, you might have right, there could be templates using the list/loop syntax, without refering to optional parameters, but the mass templates using esoteric syntax are using them for enable optional paramters. --AzaToth talk 19:44, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Meta-templates?
Aren't templates using this template likely to violate WP:AUM...? -- SCZenz 10:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, but WP:AUM was rejected, there can be legit reasons to use esoteric templates, especially if they are subst ituted. Omniplex 14:07, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
