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.

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.

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