Template:Entity It is used to create a stationary piece of geometry (with collision) that uses a non-standard render mode, such as transparency.
Formerly, it was also used for visibility optimization, but this use-case has been deprecated by ZHLTs func_detail. Nonetheless, func_wall can still sometimes be useful for reducing wpolies, particularly for geometry that intersects other geometry (ex: shelves); this should be used sparingly, though, since func_wall counts as an edict, whereas func_detail does not (
elaboration on TWHL).
