GCI task descriptions for TemplateData
Hi

This is again (also see en:User:Codename Lisa). Sorry for the four-days delay; I've been sent on a mission on a short notice. (Actually, I've placed a tag on top of my English Wikipedia user talk page; but these long absences happen far and few.) Anyway, without further ado, here are the GCI task descriptions for TemplateData.

{| class="navbox collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: left; border: 1px solid silver; margin-top: 0.2em;" ! style="background-color: ;" |

Find ten templates that accept parameters, have no parameter aliases, and lack TemplateData associated with them
Task level: Beginner

Browse the English Wikipedia articles and find ten templates that accept parameters, have no parameter aliases, and lack TemplateData associated with them.

To complete this task, you need to know what is a template, what is transclusion, what is TemplateData and where TemplateData are placed. For more information, see:
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TemplateData

Try to find templates that are visible on a page and are relatively simple.

Add TemplateData to ten templates that accept parameters and lack TemplateData associated with them
Task level: Beginner

Add TemplateData to ten templates on English Wikipedia that accept parameters and lack TemplateData associated with them.

To complete this task, you need to know what is a template, what is transclusion, what is TemplateData and where TemplateData are placed. For more information, see: • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TemplateData

If the template has a documentation page, TemplateData must be added to that documentation page. Otherwise, it must be added to the template itself.

 * style="border: solid 1px silver; padding: ; background-color: white; " |
 * }
 * style="border: solid 1px silver; padding: ; background-color: white; " |
 * }

When you reviewed them please let me know if you have any idea to where it is best for the students to report in. It needs to be talk page capable of reciprocating answers.

 * Hi again.


 * Here is another task. Hopefully, this will tell me whether it is safe to come up with certain others that I have in mind or not.

{| class="navbox collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0.2em;" ! style="background-color: #CFF;" | Extended content

Find 10 templates that invokes a module but lack TemplateData
Level: Intermediate

Modules are scripts written in Lua language; they enable more advanced scenarios that are not supported by Templates and Wikimarkup alone. Modules usually have a template wrapper. For more info, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lua

Find ten templates that invoke a module but lack TemplateData. One approach to finding such templates is to list all Wikipedia modules, check each to see which templates invoke them and visit those templates. (Usually, there are one template for each module.)
