O que é TemplateData?
TemplateData é uma forma de armazenar informação sobre uma predefinição e seus parâmetros, de tal modo que o Editor Visual possa obtê-la e exibi-la no editor de predefinições, facilitando assim a edição das predefinições.

TemplateData permite que os usuários escrevam pequenos trechos de dados estruturados na página de uma predefinição, ou em uma página que será transcluída na predefinição (tal como uma paǵina de documentação). Uma vez que a predefinição tenha esses dados estruturados, eles podem ser exibidos adequadamente no Editor Visual. Mesmo que isso pareça complicado, na verdade é bastante fácil.



Editor do TemplateData
There is a built-in tool for editing TemplateData in a simpler way.

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: Click this button to enter the GUI tool for editing TemplateData. The editor allows you to add one row per template parameter and to set the most common attributes. If the page you edited already contains a block of TemplateData, then the information already documented will automatically be shown when you open the correct page in the TemplateData editor. In the first box, you can add or update a short description of the template in plain text. After that, you can use the "Import parameters" and "Add parameters" buttons to document the names and attributes of the parameters that the template uses.

You can list the name of the parameter, any aliases for it, the label and the description that will display to users. 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 pop-up 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" 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.



Estrutura do TemplateData
A estrutura de TemplateData é baseada no padrão JSON, e é bastante simples. Note que todas as descrições em TemplateData precisam estar em texto simples (sem código wiki, ligações, etc.).

A primeira coisa a fazer é digitar um par de marcações, em qualquer lugar da sua subpágina de documentação, assim:

Isso informa o software que tudo entre as duas marcas é TemplateData e deve ser referenciado quando o modelo é usado.



Exemplo
As descrições dentro do TemplateData seguem um layout padrão; Digamos que você tem um modelo chamado "Commons" para vincular a uma categoria de Commons sobre um tópico. Leva um parâmetro obrigatório: o nome da categoria no Commons. O TemplateData seria parecido com este:

Isso apareceria, na predefinição, da seguinte forma: {       "description": "A template for linking to a commons category about an article", "params": { "1": {                       "label": "Categoria do Commons", "description": "A categoria do Commons para a qual deseja criar um link.", "default": "Category:CommonsRoot", "type": "string", "required": true }       } }



Descrição e parâmetros
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:



Vários parâmetros
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:



Parâmetros semelhantes
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.



Limitações e questões

 * 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 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.
 * Problemas atuais — Uma lista de erros atuais e pedidos de funcionalidades está disponível no bugzilla.



Outras ferramentas

 * 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.
