:Yes, I agree that it doesn't really make sense. It's just in there to be 100% backwards-compatible with the current template. Those html comments should really have been removed from {{tl|yesno}} when it was made subst-able, which would have prevented us from having to second-guess whether they actually affect the output of any substitutions in any meaningful way. I suppose it's possible to download a database dump and to run a search on it to find out, but that's probably a bit much for my poor ailing laptop. Or we could just remove the comments and hope nothing breaks - I'm fairly sure that no-one would have written any template code that purposefully used them. There's no way to be sure that there is no code that was inadvertently written to be dependent on the error, though, and that worries me. — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪ talk ♪]]</sup> 18:24, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

== Rewrite ==
I've rewritten this as a pure Lua function. The new version is a lot simpler, and is also designed to work with Lua data types such as booleans, tables, and functions. Dragons flight's criticism above is well-founded, and giving up on the idea of replacing {{tl|yesno}} seemed like the best answer. The new version should hopefully retain the basics of {{tl|yesno}} while playing well with Lua, and allow meta-modules that deal with boolean-style wikitext input to be consistent with each other. (In other words, users won't have to remember whether it was "category=yes" or "category=true" - it should Just Work<sup>TM</sup>.) — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪ talk ♪]]</sup> 14:37, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
