Description:
Hallo!
[[meta:Help:Template#Repetition within a page]] describes how to handle
repetitive inclusions of the same template by making *n* copies of it.
I would say this is not according to the [[kiss]] principle and "newbies" would
probably not understand templates as [[meta:Template:List of template calls]]
especially because the parameters are *not* named.
feature request:
a) The template syntax should support a parameter as "SELFINCLUSIONS|<template
or page name>|<counter>" and "SELFINCLUSIONS|<template or page
name_1>|<counter>|SELFINCLUSIONS|<template or page
name_2>|<counter>|SELFINCLUSIONS|<template or page name_n>|<counter>" either at
the beginning or at the end of the parameter list.
b) It should be possible to limit the SELFINCLUSIONS numbers by a new variable
defined in DefaultSettings LocalSettings (see [[meta:Help:Configuration settings
index]], [[meta:Global variables]] etc.).
