Project:Wiki/Archive/Template migrations/USEflag

We have modified the way the USEflag template works.

Its old implementation was created using only capabilities of the MediaWiki markup language and parser functionality, resulting in a large performance overhead. Additionally, the USE flag data was copied manually into the Wiki in a hard-to-update format.

With the new template, we're integrating data from the new Gentoo Packages database into the Wiki. That means that whenever an article is updated, the latest USE flag information is integrated automatically and without incurring a performance problem in the Wiki parser setup.

Some of these changes require manual verification of the rendered result, and we hope you can assist us with this.

What do I need to do?
Basically, for every USEflag template you find:


 * ensure that there is only one USEflag template per package per page Background: As the old template was limited in the number of supported flags, authors often put multiple instances of the USEflag template with verbatim explanations inbetween
 * in the one instance you keep: remove all parameters besides

If there was no  parameter, consider replacing the manually generated USE flag list with one for a relevant package, or remove the template altogether.
