When the pre-expand size limit blocks expansion of a template, the parameters are not shown; however, the output would be more readable if the template parameters were visible (for instance, if {{unicode|asdf}} is not expanded, it currently shows only {{unicode}}, which is not very helpful; if it showed {{unicode|asdf}}, it would be more visible that the intention was to apply some formatting to "asdf". The same applies to several other templates like {{user|Example}}, {{tl|Template}}, {{nobr|text}}, etc).
> When the pre-expand size limit blocks expansion of a template Any idea what that size is? (Reedy on IRC said "Presumably related to $wgMaxPPNodeCount and $wgMaxGeneratedPPNodeCount") Any testcase where the problem could be reproduced, e.g. on test2.wikipedia.org? Plus wondering how relevant this still nowadays, is in times of Lua.

The "preprocessor node count" takes its place, with a generous default limit.» https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.12#Parser_changes_in_1.12
