I am fine. Writing the wikitext {{{a}}} as [a] in explanations/analysis is helpful.--Patrick 11:16, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Made a comment on Help:Parameter default to perhaps use «» for that AzaToth 11:36, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Table

All I want to do is create a template which takes an array of values and produces a nice table. Why are there 20 versions of different loop templates and extensions here, non of which do anything remotely useful? Everything is so jumbled together and unreadable that I'm about to give up.

There are two examples of producing a table with Template:For.--Patrick (talk) 01:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] categories

What I'm looking for is a way (if possible) to loop through all members of a category, and pull out some data that's defined in a template in the pages of that category... for instance, For all pages with the category "National Football League teams", display the "name" and "colors" parameters from the template Template:NFL team.

With the end result of a list of NFL team names and team colors, with the data only stored in one place. Is anything like this remotely possible? 24.196.67.58 18:43, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
