--- Comment #8 from Richard Morris <r...@singsurf.org> ---
This topic came up in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback#Duplicate_parameters_in_a_template
and John Broughton came up with the idea that you really want more types of
status: "required" - must be set, "suggested" - appears automatically on the
lhs, and "optional".
I'd possibly add a "not recommended" for parameters which are there to cover
corner cases but you really don't want the user to enter, the color parameter
in the Taxobox is such a case. Its only useful for subtemplate calling taxobox
and should almost never be used in an article, but it needs to be documented.
BTW Taxobox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxobox is a nice torture test. It has
over 100 parameter, most will not need to be used, but there will be an article
using each. Perhaphs 10 of these are the most likely to be used which could be
marked as "suggested".
