Endrika:8

Unexpected use of template {{8}} – see Template:8 for details.

Template documentation

Usage

Template:8 is currently a warning to its users. The use of Template:8 is often a typo where template parameter 8 (as {{{8}}} with triple braces) was meant, but only double braces were used, invoking {{8}} as Template:8. In addition to displaying a warning, it also adds pages to Category:Templates with incorrect parameter syntax.

However, the most problems have been caused by omitting the first brace "{" of a parameter and getting {{8}}}, as invoking Template:8 +"}" rather than parameter 8. This can be an insidious problem, especially when the transclusion of Template:8 is hidden, so that the effect is invisible to the person editing a page. For that reason, Template:8 now issues a warning to the user.

With that warning, the prior invisible access to Template:8 can now be understood to be a formerly unseen problem coded within a page.

Note: this will also pick up several variations such as {{8|}} for {{{8|}}} and {{{8}}.

Periodically, people check what-links-here to see if anyone has accidentally invoked Template:8.
