The result of the debate was ... As Phirazo has pointed out, this does work when substituted, so it's not broken. However, the current links to it are, as Gavia immer has pointed out, using it as an example (like red link or foobar). The WikiProject links to it are using it in this manner, all of which seem to have been generated by Template:Task force. This template is meant to show how wiki markup works, so I'm going to move it to Template:Markup. Again, as Gavia immer has said, the incoming links show this is just being used as an example, so it seems reasonable to replace this with some sort of example. If you have any better ideas, tell me. --- RockMFR 04:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Unused template that doesn't work according to its creator. —  06:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep, the template is being used by 3+ Wikiprojects groupsto manage tasking.s.a. here... a brand new working project. At most, recat, but it's really fine where it's at. Don't steal peoples tools!&mdash;it makes them cranky! // Fra nkB 21:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, template is used by a number of wikiprojects and does work, comments linked to by nom are very old. --Djsasso (talk) 21:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, as WikiProject tool. Flibirigit (talk) 01:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm curious how this template is so highly used, but only has two transclusions, one of which is in userspace. JPG-GR (talk) 07:08, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I vaguely remember making this template but I really, really recall that I was copying it from somewhere and merely formalizing its existence (hence my comment on it not working despite having just made it). Looking at my edit history, however, I can't find where I might have copied it from.  Regardless, it clearly does NOT work and is of no use to anyone in its current form.  That said, if such a template DID work it would be of use and worth keeping. — jdorje (talk) 07:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Replace with content suitable for an example of a template (e.g., a noincluded explanation that it's an example template). Every use I've seen of the template name is just using it generically as the name of an example template, often as a demonstration of, e.g., example rendering as . None of them is using it for the purpose the template was written for, and in fact it's broken (doesn't do what it says it's supposed to do). Better to use this for what people think it's for than to keep the broken content currently in place or mangle the current uses with a redlink. — Gavia immer (talk) 16:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * After fiddling with the parser functions some, I'm convinced that there's no way to make it work it without installing additional MediaWiki extensions. So, delete unless someone finds a creative solution that I've overlooked (don't think there is one, but who knows). — xDanielx  T/C\R 09:25, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It does work if you subst: it, for some odd reason.  --Phirazo 03:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
