This is because SF provides Level as a parameter to the template call. This way you can use {{{Level}}} to refer to the parameter value. This is MediaWiki's template feature.

One possibility is to just use 1 inside the page instead of Level. In that case you break the "one one place only" rule, but you avoid any parser overhead.

I do not understand what you mean here.
