Adding default values in form {{{arg|val}}} would enhance templates without adding much complexity. This would solve several issues and ease use of templates in many situations: - Adding a new argument to the existing template would not be so painfull (currently you have to add argument to every place template is used, but that may be very long process) - Usage of templates for infoboxes with many optional arguments could be more readable (no need to assign empty value for every not used argument - these values would be inlcluded in template definition) Extending a format this way would be safe enough to include in existing wiki sites as '|' character was never used in {{{ parentheses, so nothing will be broken.
