 * We should make a template to display the template template. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 01:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I beat you to it. The template template can already use itself to display itself. See documentation. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 02:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) It breaks on.
 * 2) It redlinks on.
 * 3) It swallows named parameters in ..


 * On example 1, that's because it only works for templates in the Template: namespace. Probably an overlooked limitation, but I haven't seen a lot of complaints about it.
 * On example 2, it treats "subst:" as part of the template name, which is why it redlinks. I'd call that a feature.
 * On example 3, I'd say that's also an overlooked limitation, but unlike example 1 I'd say this one should definitely be fixed. The odd thing is that it passes the #if: test, it just doesn't display. Even using template:= doesn't get around it:  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 17:01, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
