A good template would have to make use of dozens of templates to become readable. That's programming 101, each function/module should do just one task. Trouble is  that it will still have to transclude dozens of pages each making it take more and more time to load. My suggestion is that for complex templates one should ditch wikitext and use lua. How does using Lua fix the problems with testing parameters? Or is the answer "don't use conditional behavior" that severly limits the creators and still doesn't protect against typos?
