... Does that make sense? --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 04:34, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
:::It makes sense, but it doesn't look any clearer to me. If you look at the result and the parameters side by side, it's pretty clear how they match up. I like the named parameter method, but I'm not the boss. I'm not sure if this new method will help with ease of use either. If people can't figure out the named parameters (which is a complaint I've seen a few times even though there are explicit directions on the template page and numerous examples of use), I don't think they'll figure out this business either. It seems like directions for this method would have to be scattered across a bunch of template pages. As far as comparing it to the mylang stuff, that table lent itself to a setup like this because we didn't want to add a new parameter for every language that came up (even though we could have if we had fewer languages). I can't imagine us ever having more than a dozen or so language parameters, so it's relatively simple to add the named parameters. I like having everything packaged in one template. At the very least, doing it all in one will keep the order consistent for all languages, which is a usability plus. I guess this can just be recorded as a vote for reworking the original template, but still using named parameters. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 04:53, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I'm not going to push the discussion any farther (at least for a while); of all the folks who've helped with site infrastructure, you've been at it the longest. [[Template:Language]] has been your Work-In-Progress, and you've taken more initiative in getting it working well than anyone else. It's by and large your template, you've managed and maintained it, and I can leave it to you to maintain. I personally think the way I described is better, but I don't want to overrule you on a template that's been your baby. I also ''don't'' think now is the right time to continue any push on it. It can probably wait until summer or later, after the end-of-semester madness has subsided. Let's revisit this some other time. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 05:15, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Re HOPL, Diarmuid and I are painfully aware of the problems. Time's our biggest problem at the moment ... not having much. --[[User:Axtens|Axtens]] 05:10, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
