  • With the resolution of bug #2257, from four years ago, extensions can now access template-style parameters.

I don't think anything has happened recently in that area. Support for {{#tag:}} as a work around for the issue happened ages ago (in 2008), and more recently (one year ago minus about a week), an option was added that allows tag extensions to optionally expand template parameters (rev:55682). I don't see anything new that has happened on that front recently (or really that anything else remains to be done, except for maybe PST in tag extensions).

I apologise for not checking more thoroughly (I normally do, honest!). Someone updated the bug, otherwise I would not have come across it, but as you say, it looks like the update was not of a significant sort. - Jarry1250 [Humorous? Discuss.] 18:31, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, I read the signpost regularly and this is the first time I've ever spotted an error. Bawolff (talk)
