[edit] Description
TemplateInfo is an extension to MediaWiki that defines a tag, <templateinfo>, that templates can use to provide an XML description of themselves. This extension was developed as part of the Wikipedia Usability Initiative, with the intention of using TemplateInfo in order to provide forms to edit template calls within pages. This extension, and the capability of editing template calls with forms, are still at an experimental stage, and liable to change. You can read more about the overall project here.
