Description:
It would be cool to have a {{for: }}-ParserFunction, e.g. for the Babel-Templates. At the time there are many
Babel-Templates Specified like {{Babel-4}} {{Babel-5}} etc for 4 or 5 language-buttons. Not this could be {{Babel|4|
button1|...|button4}}.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

I've already implemented the FOR-Function as i guess it's best.
The syntax is {{#for: loopcount | text to loop | join-character | initial value
| step size }} |
each parameter can be ommited, but ommiting the first 2 ones won't make any
sense.
Examples:
<wikitext>List of some Years: {{subst:#for: 9 | * [[19$i]] | $n | 10 |
10}}</wikitext>
will be
<wikitext>* [[1910]]
$n is a magic string in join-string cause it is not possible to insert a normal
new line there.
simpler example:
Let'c count: {{#for 9 | $i!}}
You can also go backwards:
{{#for: 9 | Value: $i | $b | 0 | -1}}
($b is another magic thing for >>|<< (vertical bar))
Countdown:
{{#for: 10 | $i, || 10 | -1}} '''Lift off!'''

The time order is exponential in the input size. This won't
be put in any extension used by Wikimedia.

umm, maybely i do not have understand you right (my english...) but if i did: We could limit the maximal loop-count (maybe to 100 or something
like that) or something like that. And i honestly don not think that 100 for-cycles will slow down the while project.. IMHO while MediaWiki
should be used by Wikimedia if it's about time order and input size..

Functions showing how we can limit the resources needed by for
I've made 3 functions demonstrating how we could limit the resources needed by
for.
forLimited1() limits the number of loops per {{#for:}}
forLimited2() limits the maximum number of loops in general
forLimited3() limits the maximum number that {{#for:}} can be used in one
document.
Of course these limitations could be combined. They are just not necessary for
using for with {{subst:}}, but i don't know how to implement this.

Why not making it clientside in javascript?!
