:I'd like them too. They are very useful. I am the one who got Tim Starling (Wikipedia's lead programmer) to write them.
:These functions include #if which is very useful with templates which have multiple parameters. They also allow simple math calculations.
:One of the most popular templates at Wikipedia calculates a person's current age, and I used templates to do this calculation. You can look at, say, [[Hillary Duff]] and find out if she's still a teenager. I wrote the original template to do this, and Tim Starling created ParserFunctions so that the template would run faster. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 08:23, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
