Examples
- Note
- On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, X0, X1, X2, …, X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other Sister projects.

No reason you can't combine multiple parameter settings. |

|
Can combine named and anonymous parameters … |
{{Tlg|x2|one|two|bold=yes|code=yes}}
|
{{Template:!((:Template:X2|x2]]|one|two}}
|
… in any order … |
{{Tlg|x2|one|code=yes|two|bold=yes|three}}
|
{{Template:!((:Template:X2|x2]]|one|two|three}}
|
… even intermixed … |
{{Tlg|x2|one|code=yes|two|bold=yes|three|italic=yes}}
|
{{Template:!((:Template:X2|x2]]|one|two|three}}
|
… with many different configurations. |
