Thread:Extension talk:ParserFunctions/Suggestion: new function ifnot/reply (11)

Yup, sure enough, I got  wrong, which I can only agree is a fair practical demonstration of the utility of. I also concede it's easy to forget the double-pipe for ; I've sometimes made that mistake myself, and have learned to recheck pathologically against it. So, okay, I'm convinced. You're right, adding these magic words would indeed lead to a practical reduction in markup errors &mdash; and, despite the IP's comment above, it's kind of absurd to claim they'd encourage doing stuff with wiki markup instead of Scribunto because they're the sorts of things one would routinely do in really, really simple logic that nobody in their right mind would resort to Scribunto for. For what my agreement is worth.
