Enhancement, or new template?

This template is very useful and has been used a lot. It would be more convenient if one could display any text, not necessarily including the linked page, like NoCo does, e.g., {{NoComp|Ave verum corpus, KV 618|Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Ave verum corpus}} display as Ave verum corpus. But should this be an enhancement to this template, or a new template? If enhancement, then parameters 1 and 2 would be as now, a new parameter 3, and parameters 3–6 would be moved to 4–7.

In the first 2000 pages using NoComp, I found three that used parameters 3-5: Cantionale Sacrum I (where use of these parameters is inefficient), Claudio Monteverdi (used repeatedly and correctly), Il terzo libro de madrigali a cinque voci (Claudio Monteverdi) (used correctly several times). So it appears that not many pages would need changing.

Or maybe a new template would be less disruptive? — Barry Johnston (talk) 22:20, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi Barry, I've made changes to Cantionale Sacrum I in order to avoid the extra parameters. Regardless of the amount of pages using them, I think this template can be changed pretty easily in order to accommodate your suggestion, without the need to create a new one. We can just use a named parameter, as e.g. |disp=
{{NoComp|Ave verum corpus, KV 618|Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|disp=Ave verum corpus}}
