Description

Hi,

I found this behaviour when dealing with a Semantic MediaWiki parser function (subobject). I imagine it might affect other extensions as well.

Example:

Template Store:
{{#subobject:Program

Has Name={{{1}}}

Has URL={{{2}}}

}}

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Needs Triage.Nov 22 2014, 3:07 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz61315.

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

That is the expected behavior – this template calls expands to the template 'Store' with two parameters:

1 = Firefox
http://download.mozilla.org/?product = firefox-27.0&os=win&lang=ca

While unwanted in this case, this is the expected behavior. You can work around this by explicitly passing the second parameter (note the '2='):

{{Store|Firefox|2=http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-27.0&os=win&lang=ca}}

Thanks! I see using named parameters could address it as well!
