Line 9:
Most Mad Libs templates have many nouns, verbs, etc., which are all independent. How should we decide when a replacment is meant to be repeated, like "name" in the example? --[[User:Markjreed|Markjreed]] ([[User talk:Markjreed|talk]]) 02:09, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
: Well to comply with the instructions only as given, you’d replace all instances repetitively, so that’s what most people have done. If an independent name was needed, it would need to be called name2 for example.--[[User:Jnd|Jnd]] ([[User talk:Jnd|talk]]) 05:47, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
== Program specification ==
The program specification say that the template should come from input, but many programs take input from a file or just a variable instead. Since the interesting bit is the parsing and string manipulation, I think that's fine, but in that case the specification should be reworded. (I can't come up with a concise, precise wording for it myself, so I'll leave that to someone else.)
