Description:

The server and type parameters of the PlantUML macro are rarely needed, the server being a setting of the wiki and the type being given by the @start tag of the content, but the Edit Macro dialog shows them with the main options.

KOs covered

Macro Criterion Parameters Problem
plantuml C8 advanced server A rarely used parameter, since the server is a setting of the wiki, not marked advanced. Moving it to an advanced tab would keep it out of the way of the user.
plantuml C8 advanced type The content of nearly every diagram starts with its @start tag, which sets the type, so the parameter is rarely needed, but it is documented and realistic for content without a tag, so it is not hidden.

Impact found on macro fluidity

These 2 KOs come from the WYSIWYG usability audit of the macros, under the criteria C8 advanced of its usability criteria. The page of each macro, linked in the table, has the full notes and the steps to reproduce. Fixing them means changing the parameter declarations of the macros: their groups, order, default values, mandatory and advanced flags.
