This template (and the concept of parameterizing port platforms in general) is not going to see much use. The caller should just use the \{{wp... necessary directly instead. IMHO the balance of utility vs cost of cluttering the template namespace makes it not worth it. -- Shambler (talk) 03:40, 16 September 2015 (CDT)
- I agree, I do not see the purpose to this. We are not running Semantic MediaWiki here. --Quasar (talk) 11:31, 16 September 2015 (CDT)
- After some thought I agree with Shambler. I understand the intent, but maintenance is high and the value to the reader is negligible — the linked articles are unlikely to say anything applicable to Doom port development specifically, or even to installing the latest package.

Deleted this template and the associated page ReMooD/Platforms, per the above. 6+ years after platform parameterization was proposed [1], it seems only one vanity editor ever supported it. Ryan W (living fossil) 20:26, 7 January 2018 (CST)
