It is often said that there is no proof {{{claim|of infinite recursion}}}. But <em>is that really true?</em> {{{cta|See the next section for more details.}}} {{User:EJAugust|claim=that infinite recursion is real... wait, something weird just happened|cta=Take a peak at the following article that demonstrates what can happen when you use recursive templates: |consequence=be chaotic|fun=skiing the Alps|reaction=panic|occurrence= you're desperately trying to make everything happen only once. The page doesn't look right when it repeats.|please=NO! Stop!|observationb=can't be good.|conclusion=The conclusion is supposed to be the very last section. This shouldn't be here yet.|oops= ... wait.}}

I'm a long time user of Wikipedia who is here to learn and to fix the occasional typo or broken link. I'm researching the applications of [[combinatorics]] and [[minimal perfect hash function]]s to [[web framework]] [[Web development|development]] and [[peer-to-peer]] [[information sharing]] which I write about in <!-- You can also find me on [https://oeis.org/wiki/User:Eric%20Augustinowicz OEIS], [https://orcid.org/0009-0003-5394-9906 ORCID], [https://independent.academia.edu/EricAugustinowicz Academia.edu], [https://github.com/EJAugust GitHub], [https://codepen.io/kireji CodePen] and -->[https://ejaugust.com my notebook].

Oh wait. That's not what I meant to do. It was supposed to embed my article. I wouldn't {{{reaction|sweat it}}} though. I've included a less confusing template here: {{User:EJAugust|claim=... ok. I see now what's going on. I think I can fix it. Here is the fixed article: {{User:EJAugust|claim=... ok. I have no clue now what's going on. '''The title of a page is only supposed to appear once'''|consequence=cause confusion|observationb=isn't working the way I meant it to.|occurrence=I'm still trying to get everything to happen exactly once and '''only once'''|fun=<s>skiing in the Alps</s> trying not to be redundant}} |consequence=cause confusion|observationb=just ruined my whole talk page.|reaction=even have this problem if I hadn't included such a confusing article|conclusion=This doesn't seem to be working the way I meant it to.|oops=.

Oh, come on!|please=This part needs to appear only once. I need to get at least one part right.}} {{{oops|... oops.}}}

That one seems to be the same template. {{{observation|That {{{observationb|will take some sorting out which I could do in a later edit.}}}}}}

<h2>Why Self-reference can {{{consequence|get messy}}}</h2>

Self reference is something you have to be careful of. One minute, you're {{{fun|<s>skiing in the Alps</s> <s>trying not to be redundant</s> <em>noooo stop</em>}}}, the next minute {{{occurrence|something new pops up. This is not cool. It doesn't make sense. '''Why''' are some parts repeating and other parts aren't?

<h3>Original Parts</h3>

{{{please|Oh no! <em>Not today</em>!}}}}}}

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

{{{conclusion|Luckily, the embedded article is safely sandboxed, which prevents the spread of the recursion to other areas of the article.
