::::That's great [[User:Jackmcbarn|Jackmcbarn]], thanks! Do we actually need two different ways to display the error, or could the softfail be used for all? — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 11:22, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|MSGJ}} I intend for <code>softfail</code> to mean "I know this might fail and I'm going to handle it if it does". If softfail were the default, it would be easy for a lookup to fail in a template where the author didn't expect it, but also in such a way that no tracking category gets added (e.g., inside the condition of a #if). The tracking category from a script error is "stickier", so it being the default means that any coding mistakes will for sure result in a categorization so we can find and fix them.
