James Day has asked (here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Qif)
for documentation on the interesting behaviour of the "Parameter Default"
feature, the mainstay of operation for [[en:Template:qif]] which has
recently caused so much stir.
I have been able to locate [[m:Help:Parameter default]] but this seems to be
an after-the-fact description of how the system behaves, rather than a
before-the-fact specification, which seems to be what James is after.
Does anybody know where such a beast might be hiding (possibly in plain
sight :-) ?
According to James Day, Brion and Tim are likely to be the best candidates
because the information is partially stored in their heads (quote from
[[en:template talk:qif]]):
::See
mediawiki.org and the brains of Brion and Tim Starling. Note that
changing what is at
mediawiki.org without changing those brains would just
result in inaccurate documentation. [[User:Jamesday|Jamesday]] 20:19, 18

I have tried to search at
mediawiki.org, but I always seem to end up at the
meta page I refer to above.
