Editing TemplateData-hinted templates
This doesn't seem to work yet? This, that and the other 2013-06-18

 * Well, if you try to edit the "unsigned" template, you are offered the parameters "1" and "2". The templatedata doesn't seem to be influencing the template editor dialog in any way. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what is meant to happen here? This, that and the other (talk) 02:39, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * That's because the template doesn't have names for its parameters. However, if you look at the template's "main panel", you can see the description ("Label unsigned comments in a conversation, to attribute them to the correct user."). It's meant to be an example basic case. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 03:50, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Jdforrester: Hmm, the "aliases" seem to be overriding the "label", if I understand it correctly. Can this be changed? There are a lot of templates that take  etc, as their entry values. Quiddity (talk) 16:12, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Once this is done (or decided against), we should start an "adding templatedata" how-to page at en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Templates/Templatedata.
 * and some notices at VPT etc. Quiddity (talk) 19:24, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there's a bit of breakage, regressions and not-yet-done-ness of using TemplateData in VisualEditor, which we hope to fix very soon - see 49833. Olivier is keen to help with that documentation BTW. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 19:46, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
