Great! Wonderful job Tim! This is wonderful and will vastly simplify tons of things.
I need to get busy converting all the 'date math' templates to use 'expr:'.
And phasing out the 'calcadd' and 'calcsubtract' templates.
And building out conditional row functionality for all the infoboxes with '#if:'.
And converting Wikipedia:Featured content to use 'rand:'.
And... oi!
Damn you Tim! :]
Hoi, I do understand from Gangleri that this new functionality is horribly broken when it comes to right to left languages. I take it this code is still very much experimental until it works properly for *all *the languages Wikimedia uses MediaWiki for. It would therefore be better to wait replacing templates until this functionality works properly.
Thanks, GerardM
