Summary: unnamed template parameters should not overwrite explicitly numbered parameters Product: MediaWiki Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Normal Component: Templates AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: wal...@email.com [[meta:Help:Template#Mix of named and unnamed parameters]] explains this problem. The last sentence is particularly relevant: "the direct assignment of the value '1' to parameter 3 is later overwritten by the third unnamed parameter." For instance, if you write {{example template|3=A|B|1=C|D|E}}, and the template consists simply of {{{1}}}-{{{2}}}-{{{3}}}, the result would be C-D-E rather than the more logical C-B-A (where the "first" unnamed parameter, B, takes the place of the first unassigned numbered parameter) or C-D-A (where simply explicitly numbered parameters take precedence over the implicit numbering). I think the first alternative, C-B-A, makes most sense, but either approach would be better than the current behavior. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
