you guys and your trashy long hand methods.. -Chieftain Alex 19:08, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm just a padawan, Alex, bear with me. (and I honestly can't understand what goes on with all these #arrays things and @@@) :P – Valento ^msg 20:30, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@@@ can actually be any string, it's just the variable that holds the value of the current array element. The convention is to use a string of symbols like @@@ or %%% because (99.9% of the time) they won't conflict with any other plaintext or wiki-text in the output string.

I've seen this same behavior split in different functions in some programming languages, it's much more clear for me now. Thanks! – Valento ^msg 21:14, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
