- redirect Template:Max

The Template:Max/6 returns the maximum number, out of 6 parameters, where some parameters can be ignored as text entries rather than numbers (such as a parameter with "none" or "n/a" or "-").
- Usage: {{max/6 | 1 | 5 | 8 | 4 | 7 | 3 }} → 8
- {{max/6 |24|65|(pass)|87|4|none}} → 87
- {{max/6 | -7 |-4 |-2 |-1 |-6 | -9 }} → -1
- {{max/6 | x | 34 | - | z | 30 | 31 }} → 34
- Usage: {{max/6 | 1 | 5 | 8 | 4 | 7 | 3 }} → 8
To set a floor amount, as a minimum result, also pass a specified amount, such as "50" where {{max/6 |1|2|3|4|5|50}} will return at least 50 as the maximum. Otherwise, negative numbers are allowed, to find the highest among negative numbers, when all negative.
- Peformance considerations
This template, in turn, uses Template:Max/3 twice to find the maximum among two groups of 3 and 3 parameters, but it also skips any invalid or text data in the entries, such as "(pass)" or "n/a" or "--" or "none" etc. Hence, only the numeric parameters are compared, not the text words.
The template-expansion depth is kept to a minimum, as 8 nesting levels, by avoiding deeply nested if-else-else-else structures.
