--- Comment #12 from John Broughton <[email protected]> ---
I don't see why Wikipedia communities can't be trusted to decide what is
*mandatory* and what is not, for template parameters. The communities are,
after all, the ones who will live with the consequences of over-specifying or
under-specifying such parameters.

It seems a bit paternalistic for the WMF to tell these communities that whether
or not they want the software to help ensure that "required" parameters are
non-blank, that's not going to happen - that WMF considers anything "required"
to actually be just "recommended". 

As an absolute minimum, VE should issue a warning when a "required" parameter
is left blank.
