VisualEditor/Portal/TemplateData



What is TemplateData?
VEportal>Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Portal|VisualEditor, the visual interface to edit wiki pages, includes a tool to easily edit templates. However, in order for that tool to be most useful, it needs to be able to pull information about the template; mostly, it needs a list of possible parameters for the template, and their characteristics.

Adding TemplateData

One of the things we need volunteers to do is the adding of TemplateData to templates (particularly high-profile ones, such as infoboxes) so that they are easy to edit.

The TDhelp>Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Portal/TemplateData tutorial|TemplateData help page explains how to add TemplateData information to a template.

You can probably think of some pretty important templates on your wiki very easily; experienced users know pretty well which templates are a big deal, and will inevitably find out when they try to use them and discover there isn't any TemplateData.

You can find an automatically-generated list of most used templates on your wiki on the Special:MostUsedTemplates special page.
