Joe, what is the plan for the 2 parameter, I note you have not used it on the priority list. Could it not be shortened to the following?
{{#ifeq: {{Template:{{{1|}}}/Metadata|info=status}}|0 |[[{{{1|}}}|<font color="#006400">{{{1|}}}</font>]] |{{#ifeq: {{Template:{{{1|}}}/Metadata|info=status}}|1 |[[{{{1|}}}|<font color="#B8860B">{{{1|}}}</font>]] |{{#ifeq: {{Template:{{{1|}}}/Metadata|info=status}}|2 |[[{{{1|}}}|<font color="#ff8c00">{{{1|}}}</font>]] |{{#ifeq: {{Template:{{{1|}}}/Metadata|info=status}}|3 |[[{{{1|}}}|<font color="#ff4500">{{{1|}}}</font>]] |{{#ifeq: {{Template:{{{1|}}}/Metadata|info=status}}|4 |[[{{{1|}}}|<font color="#DC143C">{{{1|}}}</font>]] |[[{{{1|}}}]]}} }} }} }} }}

Parameter 2 is used a couple of times. It replicates normal links that are piped. So [[Maya peoples|Maya]] becomes {{pl|Maya peoples|Maya}} --Joe Quick (Talk) 14:32, 17 September 2007 (CDT)
Now I get it. I misread the code. But do we need to pipe links in a priority list? Or is that you thinking ahead to article space? Chris Day (talk) 16:08, 17 September 2007 (CDT)
We probably don't really need to pipe links in a priority list. It just looks kind of silly to have the word "language" so many times in such a short list:
There are a few other similar situations, and it allows me to write things like " This is an example of an approved article" but it wouldn't be a big deal to drop the piping. --Joe Quick (Talk) 17:07, 17 September 2007 (CDT)
