Що таке TemplateData?
TemplateData is a way of storing information about a template and its parameters, so that VisualEditor can retrieve and display it in the template editor, thus making it easier to edit templates.

TemplateData allows users to write small bits of structured data to a template page, or to be transcluded into that template page (such as on a template documentation page). Once a template has this structured data, it can be displayed properly in the VisualEditor. While this may sound complex, it's actually very easy.



Редактор TemplateData
There is a built-in tool for editing TemplateData. It may not be installed on your wiki yet.

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.



Структура TemplateData
TemplateData's structure is based around the JSON standard, and is fairly simple. 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.



Приклад
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:

Це буде показано в шаблоні так: {       "description": "Шаблон для посилання на категорію на Вікіскладі за темою статті", "params": { "1": {                       "label": "категорія на Вікіскладі", "description": "Категорія на Вікіскладі, на котру ви хочете вказати посилання.", "default": "Category:CommonsRoot", "type": "string", "required": true }       } }



Опис и параметри
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).



Синоніми параметра
Деякі шаблони дозволяють мати різні назви одному й тому ж параметру.

Наприклад    або.

Щоб добавити цю інформацію в TemplateData, вам просто треба добавити синоніми до інформації про параметр:



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:



Декілька параметрів
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:



Подібні параметри
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.

Обмеження і запитання

 * Відсутні можливості — 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.
 * Затримки у відображенні в шаблонах — 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.
