Template talk:FunctionArgument

Default Value

Certain optional parameters, such as the [FadeIn] parameter of Enable and Disable, have a default value which is used if the parameter is absent. At the moment, this template has no way in which this information can be included. Although I'm not familiar with editing Wiki templates, I'm sure that I could figure it out easily enough. However, I'm not sure exactly how this information should be included in the template, particularly if it is to be included alongside a specific set of available values. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure that you could include it in the Values section, so like this:

Values = 0,1;Default=0

Or something. I think it'll work.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll edit one of the examples on the template page so that others know to do the same. Thanks

Deprecated parameters

Some functions used in both Fallout 3 and Oblivion have parameters that are still accepted by the compiler but have no effect, such as PlaceAtMe's Distance and Direction parameters. At the moment the only ways to mention this are to omit the parameters, or add a note to the page mentioning that they have no effect.

User:Hugepinball has brought up the idea of a "deprecated" flag for this template in order to convey this information, and I think it would be a good idea, but I'm not sure how it should be included in the template. Does anyone have any preferences about this?
