I wonder how'd you get the blank=default(Anonymus) in your template. I think I'll look it up, sounds like an interesting thing to have. -Chénier 04:57, 12 October 2007 (CEST)

When you write a substitution value into a template, you can provide an alternate to be used if the value is not provided by the writer, like this:

Written by {{{author|anonymous}}}

Produces this:

• • author = Writer
    • Written by Writer
  • author =
    • Written by anonymous

You can even leave out the entire "author = " line, and the default value will be used instead.

Yeah, I noticed, didn't know about default values. But won't the default values about date be possibly confusing for when people submit the articles without defining all the variables? Just a thought, since it's unproper use anyways. -Chénier 15:06, 12 October 2007 (CEST)
