Issue with automatically adding categories
To start, I'm not quite sure if this is the correct page to start this discussion since Template:Define describes it as a "long and confusing chain of transclusions."
Regardless, in its present state, this template adds <parameter1> and <parameter3> as categories to the pages that transclude it. The trouble with this is that child templates like Template:Implant then also get added to the previously mentioned categories. For instance, Template:Implant appears as an item in Category:Implant. The reason this is an issue is because Template:List scrapes the entries from category pages to create pages like Implants and Medical Items. As a result, Implants and Medical Items (and probably several more pages) display a malformed entry that really shouldn't be there in the first place.
I would have no idea how to fix this, but I thought it was an issue worth drawing attention to.
