-(Obviously, better template coding to allow multiple types without having to create separate syntax for all possible combinations is needed.) Any other value for 'type' is invalid, and will cause the extension to be placed in [[:Category:Extensions with invalid or missing type]].
+Any other value for 'type' is invalid, and will cause the extension to be placed in [[:Category:Extensions with invalid or missing type]].
+Note: Many extensions have more than one type, if this applies to yours,replace <code><nowiki>|type=</nowiki></code> with <code><nowiki>|type1=|type2=|type3=...</nowiki></code>.  You may define up to six types for an extension.
