Help:TemplateData/ru

 — это способ хранения информации о шаблоне и его параметрах, чтобы Визуальный редактор мог получать и отображать её при редактировании шаблона, что облегчает редактирование страниц, содержащих этот шаблон.

Расширение TemplateData установлено во всех вики-проектах фонда WMF. Для вашего собственного вики-проекта необходимо установить расширение Extension:TemplateData.

Синтаксис TemplateData позволяет пользователям добавлять небольшие порции структурированных данных на страницу шаблона (в документацию шаблона). Если шаблон имеет эти данные, он правильно отображается в визуальном редакторе. Хотя всё это выглядит сложным, на самом деле - очень просто.

TemplateData editor
Это встроенный инструмент для редактирования TemplateData наиболее простым способом.

To use the TemplateData editor, go to the template's page (or its documentation subpage) and press the "Edit" button. That will give you a button that says "", just above the open editing window:

Click this button to enter the GUI tool for editing TemplateData.

The editor allows you to add template parameters and to set the most common attributes. If the page you edited already contains a block of TemplateData, then the information already documented will automatically be shown when you open the correct page in the TemplateData editor. In the first box, you can add or update a short description of the template in plain text. After that, you can use the "Add suggested parameter(s)" and "Add parameter" buttons to document the names and attributes of the parameters that the template uses.

If the template documentation is in a subpage, the "Add suggested parameter(s)" button will only appear on the template page. A solution is to edit the template page, click on the "Add suggested parameter(s)" in the TemplateData editor and then copy-and-paste the TemplateData content (between the and tags) in the documentation subpage.

If the template page is protected, you can copy-and-paste the template code in the subpage, use the "Add suggested parameter(s)" button there, copy the TemplateData content, edit back the subpage to get rid of the template code and then paste the TemplateData content. To know where to paste the TemplateData content inside the subpage, you can edit TemplateData without adding anything; you can then replace the and tags and their content by pasting over them.

You can list the name of the parameter, any aliases for it, the label and the description that will display to users. You can also provide an example how to use the parameter. The only required field is Name (the first field in each row), which is where you record the exact, case-sensitive name of the parameter. In the "Type" dropdown menu, you can choose the type of content that the parameter should receive, such as a string (for plain-text answers), page (for links to other pages), or dates. If the template will produce an error if this parameter is left blank, please mark it as "Required". If the parameter is commonly used or recommended, then mark it as "Suggested". The "Remove parameter information" button will delete the parameter's entry from TemplateData.



When you are finished documenting each of the parameters, click "Apply" to insert the pre-formatted TemplateData into the open editing box. You must still save the page, using the normal "Save" button underneath the editing window.

Caution: The TemplateData editor will place TemplateData on either the template page or on a documentation subpage. You determine where the TemplateData will be added by opening (editing) the page that you want the TemplateData to be placed on. However, if multiple TemplateData blocks are placed on the same template, then only one of those TemplateData blocks will be used. If there is already TemplateData on a page, then you need to edit the page where the TemplateData was previously placed to avoid accidentally creating multiple blocks of TemplateData.

Ограничения и вопросы

 * Отсутствующие функции — TemplateData is an example of a tool that was made available with few features, in hope that users would help to guide development of features that they desired. If you'd like to request new features for TemplateData, please let us know.
 * Задержки в показе в шаблонах — After adding TemplateData to a template, the metadata should be visible immediately when the template is opened in VisualEditor. However, it is possible that it will take several hours before the metadata will show. You can force an update by making a null edit to the template page itself (not the documentation subpage). To perform a null edit, open the template page for editing, and save the page without making any change and without adding any edit summary.
 * Текущие проблемы — A list of current bugs and feature requests is available in the Wikimedia bug tracker.

Местонахождение TemplateData
TemplateData shall be on the page it describes, or be transcluded into it. In a template, it shall typically be wrapped into tags. On normal page rendering, it displays autogenerated documentation as shown in #Example.

Структура TemplateData
TemplateData's structure is based around the JSON standard. Note that all descriptions in TemplateData must be in plain text (no wikitext, no links, etc.).

The first thing to do is to type out a pair of  tags, anywhere on the template's documentation subpage, like so:

This tells the software that everything between the two tags is TemplateData, and should be referenced when the template is used.

Пример
The descriptions inside TemplateData follow a standard layout; let's say that you have a template called "Commons" for linking to a Commons category about a topic. It takes one mandatory parameter: the name of the category on Commons. The TemplateData would look something like this:

This would display, in the template, like so:

{   "description": "A template for linking to a commons category about an article", "params": { "1": {           "label": "Commons category", "description": "The commons category you want to link to.", "default": "Category:CommonsRoot", "type": "string", "required": true }   } }

Описание и параметры
Once you're done, hit "save". If you've made errors, it will not let you save (which is disruptive, but means you can't break anything). Should you run into errors, explain on the feedback page what you were trying to do, and we will be happy to help.

Note that each bit of information is enclosed in quotation marks (except for  and  ), and separated from the next bit by a comma (unless it's the last one).

Parameter aliases
Some templates allow a same parameter to have different names.

For example,  could also be written as   or.

To add this information to TemplateData, you simply need to add the aliases to the parameter's information:

Автоматическое значение
You can specify an "autovalue" for a parameter. When users add the template to a page, this value will be added automatically. For example, many clean-up templates need to have the date added; if you specify an autovalue for the template's date parameter, then the date will be filled in automatically.

To add this information to TemplateData, simply add the autovalue to the parameter's information. You will probably want to use  to make the values stick:

Множественные параметры
If you have multiple parameters, just repeat each section (starting from the "1" tag) and fill it out as you see fit. Note that if a template has multiple parameters, you need to separate them with a comma in the templatedata, like so:

Similar parameters
When a template has multiple parameters, sometimes some of them can be of the same kind. In this case, you only need to provide full properties for the first one, and the others can "inherit" their properties from it.

Blank boilerplate
You can copy the blank boilerplate below to add new TemplateData to a template. Only the most common tags are included.
