-The emiter emits the signal ''{signal-name}'' with a list of values whose types are identified with ''{parameter-types(s)}''. The receiver receives this signal into its ''{slot-name}'' slot along with the values emitted with the signal. The slot then takes the appropriate action depending on the value of the passed parameters.
+The emiter emits the signal ''{signal-name}'' with a list of values whose types are identified with ''{parameter-types(s)}''. The receiver receives this signal into its ''{slot-name}'' slot along with the values emitted with the signal. The slot then takes the appropriate action depending on the value of the passed parameters. The number of parameters emited by a signal is allowed to be greater than the number of parameters received by a slot. In this case, the extra parameters are ignored.

+Errors in connecting signals and slots are not reported in compiling or linking. However, they will produce a runtime warning: \\
