There shouldn't be any issue from the backend's perspective. It sounds like a UI problem.

Support PLEASE having to nest n-ary apply is killing me. YoshiRulz (talk) 14:29, 15 July 2026 (UTC)
N-argument apply/reduce/map
For implementations and testers, show the associated function in Recent Changes (etc)
Feature summary: See a link to the associated function when there is a link to an implementation or a test, especially in Recent Changes and Special:ListObjectsByType)

Provide details of result validation
Feature summary: The “Details” for a Test case should include (as a minimum) the Implementation used by the Function specified for the “result validation”.

Structured data/documentation
- Weak Support since I suspect the workaround of {{Function documentation}}/{{Type documentation}}, in conjunction with Wikidata, will be sufficient. IIRC there are systems which parse the parameters in a Wikitext template call, should anyone want it machine-readable. YoshiRulz (talk) 07:55, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
Visually distinguish Wikidata items from properties
This call shows the problem: it echoes a Z6091, a Z6001, a Z6094, and a Z6004. They appear identical because the same icon is used, and their English labels are the same. A more realistic example is a composition like Z31134, with some items and some properties mixed in with a wall of text.

- I wrote some hacky CSS as a workaround. YoshiRulz (talk) 14:12, 15 July 2026 (UTC)
