Mohammad, I may be confusing to you now but with respect it is not.
In wikify you will never need to provide another parameter other than defined in the the wikify macro AttributeDescription name The name of the variable to assign text The text to parse and render type The ContentType <https://tiddlywiki.com/#ContentType> of the text (defaults to text/vnd.tiddlywiki) mode The parse mode: block (the default) or inline output Keyword indicating the desired output type, defaulting to text (see below) However in The $macrocall widget you may very well want to define a field called "name" and give it a value bvecaue you may have a field called name, thus $name is used for the parameter The advantage of the widget form is that it allows macro parameters to be specified as widget attributes *parameters* Macro parameters specified as attributesThis includes *$macrocall* *ActionCreateTiddlerWidget* *ActionDeleteFieldWidget* *ActionSendMessageWidget* *ActionSetFieldWidget* *VarsWidget* Each of the above need to be able to have the the parameter name=value thus provide $name=parmval to stop a clash. They are all quite general in nature. It is actually very simple, Ask yourself in any given widget may you need to be able to set a value (Typically a field) of the same name as on of the documented parameters?
