Description:
This would allow us to make dynamic pages, including pages templated from
several subpages, depending on variables. They could be encoded as
?var_foo=bar&var_baz=faz or another appropriate scheme, with a construct like
{{link:pagename|foo=bar|baz=faz}} to make a link with properly encoded parameters.
This obviously presents some problems for caching, so it may not be appropriate
for large projects like wikipedia. Yet, on smaller projects with different
focus, like Wikinews or Wikisource, this would greatly simplify construction of
portals and other standard pages, which now consist of copies of the same or
very similar code on dozens or hundreds pages, making maintenance and changes
hard on both users and servers.
