Delay?
After adding TemplateData to the templates /documentation page, is there a delay before it is used by VisualEditor? (Experiencing this with en:template:RailGauge). -DePiep (talk) 20:59, 14 July 2013 (UTC)


 * @DePiep: Yes; the addition goes into the JobQueue system, which right now is over a week long on the English Wikipedia. :-( If you do a null edit on the template it will pull through immediately, however. Sorry for the inconvenience. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 22:44, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Note: A null edit is one where no changes are made. Just click edit, and click save. This means it won't be a problem if you do it to a highly used template. (See w:WP:NULL for details). Not to be confused with a "dummy edit" (eg adding a random space) which editors sometimes use to add an edit-summary message related to their prior edit. :) Quiddity (talk) 02:47, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

TemplateData and Commons TemplateBox
Commons has a standard documentation format, commons:Template:TemplateBox. I'd like to ask whether it is possible that TemplateData be integrated into the templateBox. Maybe the syntax would go as: {       "description": "", "params": { "": {                       "label": "", "description": "", "type": "string", "required": }       } } Kwj2772 (talk) 16:54, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
