Kas yra Šablono duomenys?
 is a way of storing information about a wikitext template and its parameters, so that VisualEditor can retrieve and display it in its template editor, thus making it easier to edit pages using that template.

TemplateData syntax allows users to write small bits of structured data to a template page, or to be transcluded into that template page (such as on a template documentation page). Once a template has this structured data, it can be displayed properly in the VisualEditor. While this may sound complex, it's actually very easy.

Šablono duomenų redaktorius
Yra sukurtas įrankis paprasčiau redaguoti Šablono duomenis.

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: Spauskite šį mygtuką ir pateksite į vartotojo sąsajos įrankį redaguoti šablono duomenims. Redaktorius leidžia jums pridėti šablono parametrus ir nustatyti pačius pagrindinius atributus. Jeigu puslapis, kurį redaguojate jau turi Šablono duomenų blokelį, tai informaciją, kuri jau yra automatiškai bus rodoma atsidarius Šablono duomenų redaktorių. Pirmoje dėžutėje galite pridėti arba atnaujinti trumpą šablono aprašymą. Po to galite naudoti „Pridėti siūlomus parametrus“ ir „Pridėti parametrą“ mygtukus norėdami dokumentuoti šablono naudojamų parametrų pavadinimus ir atributus.

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. Kai pabaigėte dokumentuoti kiekvieną parametrą, spauskite „Taikyti“ mygtuką, kad įterptumėte formatuotus Šablono duomenis į puslapį, naudodami įprastą „Išsaugoti“ mygtuką žemiau redagavimo lango.

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.

Apribojimai ir klausimai

 * Trūkstamos funkcijos — TemplateData is very much an example of 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.
 * Užlaikymai rodant šablonus — 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 takes hours before the metadata 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.
 * Dabartiniai klausimai — A list of current bugs and feature requests is available in the Wikimedia bug tracker.

Šablono duomenų struktūra
TemplateData's structure is based around the JSON standard, and is fairly simple. 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.

Pavyzdys
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": "Vikitekos kategorija", "description": "The commons category you want to link to.", "default": "Category:CommonsRoot", "type": "string", "required": true }   } }

Aprašymas ir parametrai
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:

Auto reikšmė
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:

Multiple parameters
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:

Panašūs parametrai
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.

 * TemplateData Wizard — A tool that generates TemplateData through an interactive interface.
 * Skeleton TemplateData generator — A tool that reads the source wikicode of a template, tries to find all the parameters used and outputs a skeleton document with the parameters listed.
 * JSONLint — A tool that allows you to validate manually-written JSON to help find errors in the syntax.
