Obviously, better template coding to allow multiple types without having to create separate syntax for all possible combinations is needed--perhaps repeating the type switch field several times (at least 3-5) into "type1", "type2", etc. | |||
Any other value for 'type' is invalid, and will cause the extension to be placed in [[:Category:Extensions with invalid or missing type]]. | |||
