There's a solution here. How about we introduce

with no code.
Just a side note about the history of MediaWiki template syntax:
MediaWiki template syntax got the first stage of a "programming
language" when parameters for templates were introduced ("function call").
The introduction of default parameter values provided parameter
dependent text selection in templates ("if"-construct).
