Studying use of 'template' option in templates

Looking at one of User:The Rooster's templates

If {{User:MobilePhoneMastBot/DRDFormat}} is

{{{suburb|Havercroft}}};{{{mast_status}}};{{{user}}}##

then

{{User:DangerReport/Heckworthy Towers|template=User:MobilePhoneMastBot/DRDFormat|suburb=Santlerville}}

produces

Santlerville;active;--~ Zach016 ^D.H.H.S. 03:57, 4 April 2012 (BST)##

{{User:DangerReport/Heckworthy Towers}}

produces

(77,25) (bic) (statuses) (update) Heckworthy Towers EHB --~ Zach016 D.H.H.S. 03:57, 4 April 2012 (BST)

At this editing, the key portion of [[User:DangerReport/Heckworthy Towers]] is:

|mast_status=unknown
|status=safe
|comment=Powered, and operating a radio.
|user={{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 15:18, 24 May 2009 (BST)

Examining the StatusMap templates

So, playing with [], which is currently:

{| style="width:7px; height:7px; background:{{StatusMap {{{status|unknown}}}}}" | <!-- Hah! Nothing in the box! -->
|}

In which case

{{User:DangerReport/Heckworthy Towers|template=User:Lariat2301/SandBox3}}

produces

Testing multiple experimental boxes

Looking for buildings that instantiate each of the colors (skimming the BICs in order):

safe = green

(77,25) (bic) (statuses) (update) Heckworthy Towers EHB --~ Zach016 D.H.H.S. 03:57, 4 April 2012 (BST)

under attack = #EE0

(41,46) (bic) (statuses) (update) St. Wilfrid's Hospital lit Greenwarrior 17:55, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

under siege = #F80

(74,28) (bic) (statuses) (update) The Dewes Building 25.96 MHz: "... power's on at the Dewes Building ..." Bob Moncrief 17:32, 28 May 2012 (BST)

ransacked = #BE3939

[25,9] - [26,10] (bic) (statuses) (update) Calvert Mall Ruined and pinata'd, with at least five Zs inside. // 25.96 MHz: "... Calvert Mall has fallen - repeat, Calvert Mall has fallen ..." Amy Flood 15:55, 16 May 2012 (BST) // Bob Moncrief 21:04, 20 May 2012 (BST)

ruined = #BE3939

(47,48) (bic) (statuses) (update) Gerrish Place Police Department vsb Greenwarrior 16:39, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

in zombie hands = red

(43,46) (bic) (statuses) (update) The Eagan Building EHB, lit, no zombies outside. § § § Chief Seagull § § § squawk 14:24, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

rebuilding = #60BF60

(44,47) (bic) (statuses) (update) The Woolsett Building EHB, lit, no zombies outside -- § § § Chief Seagull § § § squawk 14:26, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

rot revive = #630

(99,65) (bic) (statuses) (update) The Greatorex Building damaged Cityfeedback 06:22, 24 April 2012 (BST)

unknown = gray

(40,43) (bic) (statuses) (update) The Nix Building EHB, lit, no zombies outside. § § § Chief Seagull § § § squawk 14:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

But those should be turned into very different colors:

safe

under attack

under siege

ransacked

ruined

in zombie hands

rebuilding

rot revive

unknown

Unfortunately, the #color format breaks the template. (Why?) So I've substituted:

green

yellow

orange

DarkRed

DarkRed

red

lime

DarkOliveGreen

gray

So using the alter-templated DangerResports, we get:

These are all slammed together on one long line. I don't know what is creating the <br> between the color boxes.

Or the spaces in the grid. But that's enough for now.

Studying ifdef and ifndef

1: {{{test1Result}}}

2:

ifdef:
1: {{{test1test{{{test1test|}}}|{{{test1Result}}}}}}

ifndef:
2: {{{test2Result{{{test2test|}}}|}}}
