מה זה נתוני תבנית?
 היא דרך לשמור מידע על תבנית ויקי והפרמטרים שלה, כך שהעורך החזותי יוכל להציג אותה בעורך התבניות, וכך קל יותר לערוך דפים המשתמשים בתבנית.

הרחבת נתוני תבנית (TemplateData) מותקנת בכל מיזמי קרן ויקימדיה. אם יש לך ויקי משלך, עליך להתקין Extension:TemplateData.

התחביר של נתוני תבנית מאפשר למשתמשים לכתוב מידע בצורה מבנית בדף התבנית, או להכליל זאת בדף התבנית (למשל מתוך דף תיעוד). מרגע שלתבנית יש מידע בעל מבנה, היא יכולה להיות מוצגת כמו שצריך בעורך החזותי. אף על פי שזה עלול להישמע מסובך, למעשה זה פשוט מאוד.

עורך נתוני תבנית
יש כלי מובנה לעריכת נתוני תבנית בצורה קלה.

כדי להשתמש בעורך נתוני תבנית, יש לגשת לדף התבנית (או דף תיעוד התבנית) וללחוץ על "עריכה". בדף העריכה יופיע כפתור "", ממש מעל לתיבת העריכה: לחצו על כפתור זה על מנת להיכנס לממשק המשתמש כל הכלי לעריכת נתוני תבנית. העורך מאפשר להוסיף פרמטרים לתבנית ולהגדיר את המאפיינים הנפוצים ביותר. אם הדף שאתם עורכים כבר מכיל נתוני תבנית, אז המידע שכבר קיים יופיע באופן אוטומטי כאשר תפתחו את הדף הנכון באמצעות עורך נתוני תבנית. בתיבה הראשונה ניתן להוסיף או לעדכן את התיאור הקצר של התבנית בצורת טקסט פשוט. לאחר מכן ניתן להגדיר את הפרמטרים המוצעים ולהוסיף פרמטרים כדי לתעד את השמות והמאפיינים של הפרמטרים האפשריים בתבנית.

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.

Limitations and questions

 * Missing features — 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.
 * Delays in showing in templates — 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.
 * Current issues — A list of current bugs and feature requests is available in the Wikimedia bug tracker.

Structure of 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.

Example
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 }   } }

Description and parameters
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 value
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:

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.

Other tools

 * TemplateDataEditor — A user script that makes the process of adding TemplateData easier. It currently exists in French (contains English, Italian, Japanese and Korean translations), and can easily be translated into other languages.
 * 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.
 * List of all templates with TemplateData on this wiki
 * With dewiki template TemplateData template data is shown in a box, and the template is added to a category of templates with template data
