Description:
{{w:User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/IRC/Moznet}} calls {{w:User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/IRC}}. In both templates, {{{Cloaked}}} and {{{Availability}}} are defaulted. The current code defaults the values at both levels. However, because the Moznet template has siblings which are identical except for some parameters (not the ones mentioned), it would be better to default them in the parent template (here the callee).

When the caller uses "|Cloaked={{{Cloaked|}}}", it works -- unless Cloaked wasn't passed to the Moznet template. In that case, the parent template will see a non-blank value that just happens to look blank.

If you use "|{{#if:{{{Cloaked|}}}|Cloaked={{{Cloaked}}}}}", the parameter is passed as a numbered parameter rather than {{{Cloaked}}}. Switching to "|Cloaked={{#if:{{{Cloaked|}}}|{{{Cloaked}}}}}" results in the problem mentioned above -- You get a blank value that isn't blank.
