Essentially, the original author of this template was using a 'special', non-standard macro/tag {{code|#log}} to get base-2 logarithms. This functionality doesn't exist any longer (or maybe it was a mistake in the first place?). Contemporary MediaWiki-based wikis, unlike the SL Wiki, use math functions from the Lua module, or possibly from the PhpTags module. Neither, of course, is active on the SL Wiki, and might never be.</ins></div></td></tr>
