Description:
At http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=445197792 we see an edit which changed a huge number of calls to {{rating|1|3}} to calls to {{rating 1 3}}, which is a wrapper template which merely contains the former call. Doing so slashes all the parser statistics: preprocessor node count down by 96%, post-expand down by 89%, template argument size down by 99.9%. I haven't looked in detail about why this is, but some sort of beneficial caching is definitely not occuring in the more common case, and it should.
