: The template looks quite okay whereas I suggest to implement the number of brackets by a named parameter, something like <code>brackets=3</code> or <code>levels=3</code> or <code>pairs=3</code>. This way nobody will be confused about the order of parameters. I observe that 1 to 4 pairs are supported. Since I still don't understand wedgies and multivals: comes this limitation with the concept itself or is it due to the template? As a side note, the need of such paired switch statements in the template is the exact purpose for having modules enabled in this wiki... --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 08:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

:: I'll make it a <code>rank=3</code>. I think not supporting more pairs beyond four is due to both the definition of the wedgie and the implementation of the template. More pairs are reasonable through logical extrapolation, but practically it looks rather unwieldy (proportionally to the template itself), and I believe some alternative notations should come to help in those cases.

: I think [[Template:OEIS]] is fine as it has prefix with the link to clarify what OEIS means. So I'd not recommend to deprecate one of the two ways to link to sequences. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 08:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
