Here's a way to interpret the argument parsing logic

URL: altName overrides altname overrides id overrides {{{1}}} overrides name
Display text: name overrides {{{2}}} overrides {{{1}}} overrides id overrides altName overrides altname

Test code	Result	Expected	Comments
{{Series}}	{{{altname}}}	undefined	It would be easy to have this be a message such as "Error - expect at least one argument" and to link to series 0.
{{Series\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double
{{Series\|id=24812}}	24812	24812
{{Series\|id=24812\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double	This usage is rare but is generated by Template:PubSeriesHeader
{{Series\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)}}	Angel_(Kilworth)	Angel_(Kilworth)
{{Series\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double
{{Series\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)id=24812\|}}	24812	24812
{{Series\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)\|id=24812\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double
{{Series\|18801}}	18801	18801	This usage is common
{{Series\|18801\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double	This usage is not as common but is in use
{{Series\|18801\|id=24812}}	18801	18801	Not used but if it were then you are more likely to see {{Series\|id=24812\|Series Name}} -> Series Name
{{Series\|18801\|id=24812\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double
{{Series\|18801\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)}}	18801	18801
{{Series\|18801\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double
{{Series\|18801\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)\|id=24812}}	18801	18801
{{Series\|18801\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)\|id=24812\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double
{{Series\|18801\|Fox}}	Fox	Fox	This usage is common
{{Series\|18801\|Fox\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double
{{Series\|18801\|Fox\|id=24812}}	Fox	Fox
{{Series\|18801\|Fox\|id=24812\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double
{{Series\|18801\|Fox\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)}}	Fox	Fox
{{Series\|18801\|Fox\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double
{{Series\|18801\|Fox\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)\|id=24812}}	Fox	Fox
{{Series\|18801\|Fox\|altname=Angel_(Kilworth)\|id=24812\|name=Blade Double}}	Blade Double	Blade Double

The test table above was generated by doing a binary count to step through all of the possible argument configurations. As you can't have a {{2}} without a {{1}} there are 24 possible combinations.

{{1}}	{{2}}	altname	id	name
no	no	no	no	no
no	no	no	no	yes
no	no	no	yes	no
no	no	no	yes	yes
