If you have a system message with positional parameters, such as: 'my-message' => "My favorite $1 is $2." today it can be transcluded into a wiki article like this: {{mediawiki:my-message}} but you cannot provide values for the parameters. As an enhancement, allow positional parameters to be passed to the message. For example: {{mediawiki:my-message | fruit | bananas}} would transclude as: My favorite fruit is bananas. This would be very helpful for documenting wiki features within the wiki.
{{int:my-message|fruit|bananas}} will give you your desired output.
Very interesting. I had no idea there was an int parser function. Now I see it's documented at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Magic_words#Template_modifiers. Thanks for the tip!
