- Thanks for the cleanup, Nic. Gonna get into the code and see how you made it simpler. Now, statements like {{{Introduced|}}} don't refer to a template somewhere else, right? This is the only template needed for this infobox?--Revanche 00:30, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
Correct. There's two things to remember about the templates. Two curlies {{ T }} in page A calls a template 'T', while three curlies in 'T' (such as the code {{{ Z }}}) refers to a parameter named Z that was passed from A to T.
Example 1
Lets say in page A, you want to call template T:
A code:
{{ T | Param1=1 | Param2=2 }}
Template:T code:
First parameter = {{{Param1}}}, second = {{{Param2}}}
End Result/Output of A:
First parameter = 1, second = 2
Example 2
The text after a pipe | operator after a parameter in a template designates its default value. Thus, if this was T:
A code:
{{ T | Param1=1}}
Template:T code:
First parameter = {{{Param1}}}, second = {{{MissingParam2|default}}}
End Result/Output of A:
First parameter = 1, second = default
