This is a scratchpad where I'm collecting snippets of possible template code revisions. At the moment most of these snippets won't work, since they rely on to-be-added parser functions. Or to-be-written helper templates. Any editor who can make sense of this chaos is free to help improve the code ;)
NPC Summary
Bits and pieces from Template:NPC Summary. (Even though NPC Summary will probably be one of the last templates to get revamped, I keep examining its code for challenging examples).
