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;--User:Tobeon/Sig 12:05, 22nd October 2024 (UTC)##

{{User:DangerReport/Heckworthy Towers}}

produces

(77,25) (mpm-ic) (update) (mast statuses) (statuses) Heckworthy Towers --User:Tobeon/Sig 12:05, 22nd October 2024 (UTC)

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) (mpm-ic) (update) (mast statuses) (statuses) Heckworthy Towers --User:Tobeon/Sig 12:05, 22nd October 2024 (UTC)

under attack = #EE0

(41,46) (bic) (statuses) (update) St. Wilfrid's Hospital --VVV RPMBG 04:22, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

under siege = #F80

(74,28) (bic) (statuses) (update) The Dewes Building --VVV RPMBG 04:11, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

ransacked = #BE3939

[25,9] - [26,10] (bic) (statuses) (update) Calvert Mall Visited by The Scourge D M Penfold (talk) 19:38, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

ruined = #BE3939

(47,48) (bic) (statuses) (update) Gerrish Place Police Department --VVV RPMBG 20:58, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

in zombie hands = red

(43,46) (bic) (statuses) (update) The Eagan Building --VVV RPMBG 02:23, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

rebuilding = #60BF60

(44,47) (bic) (statuses) (update) The Woolsett Building --VVV RPMBG 02:23, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

rot revive = #630

(99,65) (bic) (statuses) (update) The Greatorex Building "... lights are on in the Greatorex Building ..." Zashiya (talk) 17:12, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

unknown = gray

(40,43) (bic) (statuses) (update) The Nix Building --VVV RPMBG 01:32, 6 August 2024 (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|}}}|}}}
