Feedback
Doesn't only work on MW 1.12 Alpha, works also on 1.12. I hope it also will work on 1.13. This extension is very helpful, for example for building well arranged templates without copy paste and change 100 times for "array" parameters. Found no Bugs as yet. Hope somone will develope on this extension that we can see it with stable Status as soon as possible! --77.191.205.221 10:13, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback! Though no one has reported any bugs, I know of only three or four people who use this extension (present company included), so I don't feel comfortable updating the status to "stable" yet.  —Sledged (talk) 15:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I use this extension! . I have a template calling it here.  We discuss the necessity of this template all the time on the mailing list. Keep up the great work! --Aquatiki 22:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Glad to know it works well for you. I'll go ahead and change it to stable, since no bugs have been found with the bread-and-butter functions (while and dowhile).  foreachnamedarg, however, is still experimental and subject to change.  —Sledged (talk) 18:26, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I use this extension, too! . It's crucial to my [|Random Image Gallery] template as used on the homepage. Awesome work! --Arodicus 22:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok, It also works on MW 1.13.1, tested now! --77.191.216.80 15:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Help me please
I can't seem to get this to work: In my wiki theres a table at the bottom of many pages that go to different versions of the content on the page, so i want to use a template instead. I want to make a table that has one row (starting with the row heading "Inputs" in bold and the two-input version), and in each cell links to a page called: (first parameter) then "_(" then the i value then " bit)" with a label of the value of i. the variable i increments by 2 until i is less than the second parameter. Below is my attempt but it always seems to time out.

Example: Should produce:


 * You need to hide the pipe character after &lt;nowiki/&gt; tag in a template. Otherwise, MW thinks it's the start of another parameter.  Standard practice is to create the template Template:!, whose only content that is included is a pipe character.  —Sledged (talk) 18:01, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
