Absolutely marvelous.. Now the tables in the wiki can be written in far more comprehensive format (from the end user POV)

This is the thingy that allows you to omit unused parameters right? (instead of N/A)

Could this be used in the weapons/beams/ships templates to turn the tbl flags into notes, as seen here: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/TerSlashBlue#Notes ?
That is, give it the flags string from the tbl, and it would create these explanatory notes?

Yes


Main thing however is that this now makes it easier to use the templates for the end-users (ie. normal wiki editors).
