Line 23:
The DPL2 site had an ''Examples'' category, but the examples had generic names like "Example 002" which made the task-based approach not feasible because you'd either have to click every one, or had to sift though manual sections like the Gamepedia Manual currently. Also, too many in-line examlpes can cause issues. Some titles are a little strange, like "Example:_Display_images_used" but that type of categorization and/or page might be a good idea for when users want to see different ways to display images! '''Relevant examples, to the task at hand, just need to be ''way'' easier to find,''' which is why I'd need some time to think about approaching this systematically.
 
===Templates using Variables and Loops==
The following were found to use other extensions, see [[:Category:Templates to simplify or eliminate]] for which uses which. Variables extension's future is uncertain, so these templates may need to be simplified, adjusted, or eliminated:
The following use Variables (also some use Loops, plus string functions enabled in ManageWiki for parser functions), which will perhaps need simplification and replacement later:
 
{{#dpl:
# {{tl|DPL parameter}} – for linking to a parameter (also linked to current DPL syntax template, where the global vars are declared).
|category=Templates to simplify or eliminate
# {{tl|DPL syntax}} – for displaying variations on <code>mode=<i>modename</i></code>
|count=100
#* Am considering replacing with <code><nowiki>{{syntax|text{{=}}value}}</nowiki></code>
}}
# {{tl|And}} – Possibly never would have found this if I hadn't been going through pages and templates individually... since there appears to be no tracking categories for some extensions.
 
# {{tl|Key}} - Not sure this template complexity is really necessary at all.
* Note: I still need to go back through to determine which requires string functions to be enabled for Parser Functions extension. Once determined, should make sure it is also noted where pertinent.
