Template:If provides a basic if function to code. If the set variable is positive (i.e. has a value assigned) then it will display a determined variable, and likewise if the set variable is negative (i.e. no value assigned) then another determined variable is displayed. Template:Param1 provides the variable for template:if to function. Template:Ifeq gives the if function but allows the if to be an exact value.
