Explanation

A template (t) is transcuded, with positional parameters

1. a tupel of (n) parameters changing for each transclusion, and
2. a number of not changing additional parameter values.

Example

for e.g. n=3: With {{ Iterate | t = template | n = 3
| a | b | c
| u | v | w
| r | s | t
| x | y | z
| p1 = c1 | p2 = c2 | ... | p8 = c8 }}
the template template will be transcluded 4 times, with the parameters

1. {{ template | a | b | c | c1 | c2 | ... | c8 }}
2. {{ template | u | v | w | c1 | c2 | ... | c8 }}
3. {{ template | r | s | t | c1 | c2 | ... | c8 }}
4. {{ template | x | y | z | c1 | c2 | ... | c8 }}

The tupel-number n can be any value 1,2, ...; this example schows a tripel.
The number of the tupels, in the example 4, is not limited.
The additional values are currently limited to 8, therefore 0 ...8 values can be specified.

{{ Iterate
| Pink check.svg   |
| Purple check.svg |
| Yellow check.svg |
| White check.svg  | b
| Red check.svg    |
| p2=Z | p1=32 }}

(default for t=F and n=2)

{{ F | Pink check.svg   |   | 32 | Z }}
{{ F | Purple check.svg |   | 32 | Z }}
{{ F | Yellow check.svg |   | 32 | Z }}
{{ F | White check.svg  | b | 32 | Z }}
{{ F | Red check.svg    |   | 32 | Z }}
