This template transforms a given item using a given template.
Usage
{{Format item|item=Item|template=TransformationTemplate|...}}
TransformationTemplate is called with the parameters that the item has been created with, plus any additional parameters passed to {{Format item}}. Contents of the item take precedence over the additional parameters, unless the parameter name is prepended with important . If the parameter name collides with the parameters of {{Format item}} itself, prepend it with param . There is no need to combine param and important , though.
It is also possible to transform multiple items at once, but not with this template.
