So text= and 2= would work to fix. Btw, I'm just going off the standards that have been there for years (most likely S4N's original work). If we want to change that, then we just need to come to a consensus.
DoubleYou Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 I don't think that we have ever actually established a standard for parameters. Take https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/Template:Sidebox for example. This one has been around forever, and really probably ought to use named parameters, but it doesn't. In fact, I think adding named parameters to most of our templates occurred after S4n disappeared, as I think I was the one who did it.

That one needs to be updated too as the width should be in % for the responsive design. It should only accept a percent too, so that the responsiveness isn't broken. I agree it should use a least one named parameter for the main text (possibly for the header too). I really don't use sideboxes much.

Both use a "this=that". It just doesn't work with anonymous params or ordered params.
