Unfortunately that entire template family uses the same documentation, and if any of the templates don't have that parameter it might mean that we give bad advice. Honestly I'm not overly thrilled with said /doc (I think it's too complex and wordy) so I might see about editing it and possibly adding

I started thinking about whether this sort of annotation might make sense in some cases on wikipedia, and where to begin talking about this — are templates the right place? How should I bring this up for discussion or start tinkering on an implementation to demo/suggest? Would be grateful for any

I started a discussion about possibly creating a new infobox for multi-sport events such as the
Olympics, figured I'd drop a note here since there may be some template-savvy folk who aren't necessarily also editing in that sphere and could possibly give some thoughts. The discussion is at
647:
When I'm browsing biographies on
Knowledge (XXG), I often find myself calculating the person's age whenever a dated life event or work is mentioned, to get a better idea of where it fits in their life. And yes, sometimes also out of a slightly unhealthy urge for comparison.
697:
I don't think that the extra clutter on the page is needed. We show birth (and death) date in the lead sentence and we have templates for infoboxes which tell the reader the subject's age today, or at death, and I think we can leave the rest to the reader's arithmetic.
595:
there is a discussion of a potential mostly-new speedy deletion criterion that would include "maintenance categories no longer used by a template.", although it is not a formal proposal yet it looks to be headed that way. You are invited to the discussion.
789:
and then the code is copied here directly (much like we have infoboxes written in German for their train templates to be copied directly). I would be okay with making it subst-only here like we do with those other language templates.
644:), I noticed some interesting annotations contextualizing numbers. For example, amounts of money are inflation-adjusted, with the original amount and year shown next to them. Years are annotated with how long ago they were.
492:
837:
804:
Yeah that sounds like a good solution. I wonder if it really is being copied over here as the commons template looks completely different, but subst is still better than how it is now.
50:
448:
Much of the information in the infobox is in the "free" fields, which is a hint that the infobox doesn't fit well. I would advocate for deleting the infoboxes on these articles. —

As part of this discussion it has been suggested that it should be encouraged to include a link to template(s) that populate a category from that category's description (i.e. if
