Well, firstly, I'd have to fix up
http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Multiple_issues to accept two parameters
(this isn't a big deal), then I'd have to fix up Twinkle to pass two parameters
to the template,(big deal for me) and then I'd have to get users who input the
template manually to use two parameters instead of one (really really big
deal). Even after that, I'd still need a date check mechanism for the current
transclusions, (or I'll have to manually fix them). And I find doing all that
stuff much more difficult than creating a template like this.

And this particular format aside, using different parameters doesn't really
solve the problem (as evident by Jayant's example above). I really think a
solution for this should be found before more templates start springing up.
