Template:2 indicates parameter 2 typo

[edit]

The Template:2 has been created and deleted multiple times during 2005-2010, but is currently blocked from creation. The use of Template:2 is often a common typo where a person intended to access template parameter 2 as {{{2}}} (with triple braces) but, instead put only double-braces and invoked "{{2}}" as Template:2, unaware of the mistake.

There have been other uses of Template:2:

  • In footballer scores, people have put "{{0}}0 {{2}}(0)" for "{{0}}2 {{0}}(0)" because use of Template:0 caused confusion of 4 "0" in zero scores: {{0}}0 {{0}}(0), unsure which "0" should be "2".
  • Formerly, people have created temporary contents in Template:2 and caused various discussions about who wanted to use that template.

However, the most problems have been caused by omitting the first brace "{" and getting "{{2}}", as invoking Template:2 rather than parameter 2. This can be an insideous problem, especially when the transclusion of Template:2 is hidden, so that the effect is invisible to the person editing a page. -Wikid77 19:49, 15 August 2010, revised 13:50, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Looking for problem usage of Template:2

[edit]

Because Template:2 can become hidden within some pages, a good way to spot accidental usage, is to check what-links-here, such as:

After reviewing pages in that list, then click "Show transclusions" to list all other pages (which access Template:2). In many cases, pages must be edited to correct the text which inadvertently accessed "{{2}}" rather than parameter 2. -Wikid77 (talk) 19:49, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

Please add an interlang: ja:template:2 just before the last </noinclude>. Because the documentation is common to other templates like {{1}}, interlangs have to be here, not in /doc.

By the same reason, please add ja:template:3 to {{3}}. Thanks. Ahora (talk) 07:17, 2 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

OK done.--Salix (talk): 08:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

Please remove [[ja:template:2]]. It has already been added to the wikidata item (d:Q6645854). Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 20:30, 13 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
