Greenny - Remember that templates effect many pages not just the one that you are working on at the time.

With that being said - The main template can not things removed without them affecting every page that the template is on -- such as removing a parameter for the quest list (goals) or the date formatting -- Any changes of this nature would mean that Every quest page from the past that is using these parameters would have to be re-edited/updated to match the new formatting/parameters used/removed from the main template.

This is why I can not add the auto-categorization of the source= parameter - I can add new parameters but then only the NEW quests pages would be auto-categorized by the template and the old ones will not until they are edited to use the new parameters used that will auto categorized them.

This is the problem with making any changes to any template that is used on wikis with this many pages, you can only add new parameters but must keep the old ones until someone goes and removes them from all per-existing pages.
