'''Foreach''' also accepts a named, fixed pass-through argument, that is, a constant argument to send through to the "call"ed template in addition to each item from the list being passed to that template as "<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>"; you need to supply the name with "pass_thru_name1" and then give the value with "pass_thru_arg1". In other words, given some text that contains a list like "A,B,C,D", and the name of a template that can process those items as well as taking a named parameter, this template can generate calls to that template like: <nowiki>{{Template|A|use_format=simple}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{Template|B|use_format=simple}}</nowiki>, etc. | '''Foreach''' also accepts a named, fixed pass-through argument, that is, a constant argument to send through to the "call"ed template in addition to each item from the list being passed to that template as "<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>"; you need to supply the name with "pass_thru_name1" and then give the value with "pass_thru_arg1".

One quirk of this template is that the first item in the list is ignored; the complex reason for this is due to the way this template was designed to be used as part of the BSL documentation system, and is explained on [[BSL:Grouping]]. | One quirk of this template is that the first item in the list is ignored; the complex reason for this is due to the way this template was designed to be used as part of the BSL documentation system, and is explained on [[BSL:Grouping]]. A duplicate of this template exists under the name [[Template:Foreach2|Foreach2]], which should be updated with any changes to this template. | ||
