Years ago, I started the Uibuse
template. I knew it would be troublesome in its most basic form. I started it not only to avoid all the extra typing, but also because at the time I started it, we had a zillion UIBs on our Unused Templates script. I built it to hold basic un-parametered UIBs when they are used on a wikiHow:Templates/UIB
subpage, yet I could never get past when the template has parameters because when you include a template with parameters, it displays {{{1}}}…{{{
}}}(whatever the number is) whenever it encounters parameters in it’s final included form on the subpage regardless of how it’s been implemented, and one way or the other will need a refresh to help include them better.
It will need some “if” params, but the logic with MW params for me is a bit complex for me to include in the template myself, and I am calling for action by others to help me implement it to drive this template forward.
As of right now, I have drawn up a plan to use the current template to include those without parameters needed, while those with parameters need to be included using standard section inclusion, and it becomes a bit better. But someone asked for this change to be made to make it a lot better and more streamlined.
Keep in mind, I ended up having to use header-level lines to make it show the same as those on regular Templates subpages, and so the experience was the same as it is/was anywhere else, and because using traditional wiki markup for wikiHow-namespace pages became buggy and wasn’t showing the same way when an UIB was included.
Can someone who’s experienced with including parameters help fix it so it would work for both those without and those with parameters?
Thanking @Tiagoroth
for fixing this late last night. You can close this discussion if you’d like.
