What is TemplateData?
 is a way of storing information about a wikitext template and its parameters, so that VisualEditor can retrieve and display it in its template editor, thus making it easier to edit pages using that template.

TemplateData sintaxiak erabiltzaileei aukera ematen die informazio estrukturatuaren parte txikiak txantiloi- orri batera idazteko, edo txantiloi-orri batean txertatzeko(txantiloi-dokumentazio orri bat bezalaxe). Behin txantiloi batek informazio hori estrukturatua izanda, egoki heda daiteke Ikusizko Editorean. Konplexua dirudien arren, berez oso erraza da.

TemplateData editor
Bada tresna integratu bat TemplateData modu sinpleagoan editatzeko.

TemplateData editorea erabiltzeko, joan txantiloiaren orrira (edo haren dokumentuaren azpiorrira) eta sakatu "Aldatu" botoia. Horrek "" dioen botoi bat emango dizu, justu edizio lehioaren gainean: Sakatu botoi hau TemplateData aldatzeko tresna bisualean sartzeko. The editor allows you to add template parameters 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 "Add suggested parameter(s)" and "Add parameter" 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. 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. Txantiloi bakoitzak dokumentatzeaz amaitzen duzunean, klik egin Aplikatu botoian edizio kaxa irekian aurrez fomateatutako TemplateData sartzeko. honez gaizki, orria gorde beharko duzu ohiko Gorde botoian sakatuz.

Erne: TemplateData editoreak TemplateData txantiloiaren orrian edo bai dokumentazio azpiorrian jarriko du. Zuk erabaki dezakezu TemplateData non joango den TemplateData joatea nahi duzun orria irekiz. Hala ere, txantiloi baten barruan hainbat TemplateData bloke txertatuak badaude, orduan TemplateData bloke horietako bat baino ez da gehituko. Orrian dagoeneko TemplateData badago, TemplateData aurrez sartua zegoen orria aldatu beharko duzu ustekabean TemplateData bloke anitzak ez sortzeko.

Limitations and questions

 * Falta diren funtzionalitateak — 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.

Structure of 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.

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:

Txantiloian, honela agertuko da:

{   "description": "Txantiloi bat artikulu bati buruzko Commons kategoriara lotzeko", "params": { "1": {           "label": "Commons kategoria", "description": "Lotu nahi duzun Commons kategoria.", "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
Txantiloi batzuk parametro bakar batek izen ezberdinak izateko aukera ematen dute.

Adibidez,  izan daiteke ere idatzia   edo   bezala.

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.
