TemplateData est une extension permettant de stocker des informations au sujet d’un modèle wikitext et de ses paramètres, de manière à ce qu'une interface d'édition puisse les récupérer et les afficher dans son éditeur de modèles, rendant ainsi plus facile pour les utilisateurs l’ajout et la modification de modèles dans les pages.
Depuis avril 2019, TemplateData fait partie de l'expérience utilisateur par défaut pour tous les utilisateurs de tous les wikis de Wikimedia lorsqu'ils ajoutent un modèles, y compris les utilisateurs non enregistrés. Les éditeurs de source et visuels par défaut l'intègrent d'une manière ou une autre. Il est également utilisé ailleurs par des scripts, des outils et des gadgets. Si vous avez votre propre wiki, vous devrez installer Extension:TemplateData .
Ajouter TemplateData à un modèle consiste essentiellement à insérer un petit bloc de données JSON (expliqué ci-dessous) dans la page de documentation du modèle. Bien que cela puisse paraître compliqué, c'est plutôt simple. Vous avez deux façon de le faire, soit manuellement, soit en utilisant l'éditeur TemplateData, une interface graphique située dans la page de modification des modèles sur les wikis où l'extension TemplateData est installée. Les données JSON contiennent une liste de paramètres avec des informations sur chaque paramètre du modèle et le modèle lui-même. Ceux-ci sont définis ci-dessous.
Quand un modèle a des TemplateData, les informations sont affichés quand un utilisateur ajoute le modèle, parfois à la place de l'information d'origine, parfois comme information supplémentaire. Dans certains cas, cela peut changer le comportement de l'éditeur lors de la modification ou l'insertion du modèle. Cela peut permettre aux utilisateurs d'identifier plus facilement ce qu'ils doivent faire avec un modèle lors de son ajout.
Historique
À l'origine, TemplateData a été développé début 2013 pour VisualEditor qui était en phase de test MediaWiki à l'époque. VisualEditor est l'interface d'édition principale pour les wikis Wikimedia, et TemplateData lui permettait d'avoir une interface plus utilisable pour l'ajout de modèles. Il était officiellement supporté par VisualEditor immédiatement. Comme VisualEditor a été déployé sur les différents wikis Wikimedia majeurs en tant que fonctionnalité par défaut de 2013 à 2016, TemplateData en est également devenu une partie.
En décembre 2016, l'interface VisualEditor a été rendue disponible pour l'édition du code source en tant que fonctionnalité bêta. Cela a été appelé éditeur de texte wikite 2017. Cela a amené les fonctionnalités de TemplateData à l'édition source pour la première fois.
En Mars 2018, Sam Wilson a développé TemplateWizard , une extension graphique de l'éditeur de modèle pour l'éditeur de source par défaut de Wikimedia, WikiEditor (aussi connu comme l'éditeur wikitexte 2010), conçu pour faciliter l'ajout de modèles en utilisant les informations de TemplateData. En Avril 2019, TemplateWizard est devenu une partie par défaut de l'éditeur de wikitext 2010 sur tous les wikis Wikimedia. Cela signifiait que TemplateData faisait désormais partie par défaut de l'éditeur visuel et de l'éditeur source sur les wikis Wikimedia.
Ajouter ou modifier TemplateData
To add or edit TemplateData, first navigate to a template's page, located at "/Template:Templatename".
Prior checks
There are two things you should check before adding or editing TemplateData, in the following order:
- whether the template has a documentation subpage
- whether the template already has TemplateData and whether this is located on the template page or the documentation subpage.
Checking for the documentation subpage
The first thing to do is identify whether the template has a subpage for its documentation or not.
There are two main ways templates on most Wikimedia wikis store their usage notes and other data that shouldn't be included in the actual template itself, like categories the template should be contained in:
- The vast majority use a documentation subpage.
This is a page located at the template's name followed by "/doc". In this case, on the main template page after the template source code, there is only the text "{{Documentation}}
" between <noinclude>
tags. Here, the {{Documentation}} template transcludes all the /doc page's content onto the template page. This makes the template's source code look much cleaner.
- A small minority keep the information on the template's main page, after its source code.
In this case, it is contained after "{{Documentation|content=
", which is between <noinclude>
tags.
You can quickly identify whether a template has a /doc page by checking if the " Template documentation" (or similar) heading has links like "[view] [edit] [history] [purge]" after it.
This may look slightly different on different wikis.
Rarely, the main template page may still have documentation content even if you see these buttons and there is a /doc page.
This will happen if a user has added a custom /doc page title between "
{{Documentation|
" and "|content=
" then added content after "|content=
".
A slightly more reliable way to check is by looking for the notice, "The above documentation is transcluded from Template:Templatename/doc" (or similar), in the box at the bottom of the page.
If a template doesn't have a documentation subpage
If a template doesn't have a documentation subpage, you have two options:
- You can either create it and move its documentation (if it has any) there.
After this, you can then add TemplateData to the documentation subpage. This is the preferred option.
- Or, you can add or edit TemplateData on the main template page.
Creating the doc subpage and moving the documentation contents
On most Wikimedia wikis, you can only create a page if you are a registered user (and, at least on the English Wikipedia, have been for more than four days and have made at least ten edits).
To do this, click "Edit"/"Edit source" on the main template page, and look for the <noinclude>
tags and their contents, usually at the bottom.
It should look something like this:
<noinclude>
{{Documentation|content=
== Usage ==
Information about usage.
== More example headings ==
More example contents
[[Category:Example category]]
[[Category:Example category 2]]
}}
</noinclude>
It might also have TemplateData already. This will look something like:
<noinclude>
{{Documentation|content=
...
<templatedata>
{
"description": "",
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "Example parameter",
"description": "Example parameter description",
"type": "string"
}
}
}
</templatedata>
</noinclude>
Select everything after "|content=
" and before "</noinclude>
", cut it, then delete "|content=
", so you are just left with:
<noinclude>
{{Documentation}}
</noinclude>
Now, save the page.
Next, add "/doc" to the URL in the address bar after the template name, and press Enter. Then, click "Create source".
If your wiki has a {{Documentation subpage}} notice template, add it at the top. You may also want to add some other templates, like a {{Purge button}} or {{Purge}} link, if your wiki has it. See meta:Help:Template documentation for more info.
Beneath this, paste the contents of the clipboard.
Next, enclose the categories within <includeonly>
tags.
This is so that they don't have an effect on the doc subpage, only on the template's main page.
This will look like this:
<includeonly>
[[Category:Example category]]
[[Category:Example category 2]]
</includeonly>
Some wikis (including the English Wikipedia) have a {{Sandbox other}} template. Use this if the template can be expected to have a sandbox version, located at "Template:Templatename/sandbox". It will stop the categories from having an effect on the sandbox page.
This will look like this:
<includeonly>{{sandbox other||
[[Category:Example category]]
[[Category:Example category 2]]
}}</includeonly>
After this, click "Publish page".
You can now add or edit the TemplateData on the documentation subpage based on the guidance at #Methods.
Adding or editing TemplateData on the main template page
If you do not wish to or are unable to create the /doc page, you can add or edit TemplateData on the main template page. Follow the guidance at #Methods to do this.
If a template has a documentation subpage
If a template has a documentation subpage, you should now check whether it already has TemplateData and whether this is located on the template page or the documentation subpage.
Check both the template page and the /doc subpage for the presence of TemplateData documentation; this looks something like this:
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Example parameter | 1 | Example parameter description | String | optional |
Alternatively, the TemplateData extension can perform this check for you. Click "Edit" or "Edit source" on either page.
If the template already has TemplateData on either page, you will see a yellow notice at the top of the page saying either:
- "Please note: there is already a TemplateData block on the related page "Template:Templatename/doc"", or
- "Please note: there is already a TemplateData block on the related page "Template:Templatename""
If the template has TemplateData on its documentation subpage
If the template has TemplateData on its documentation subpage, this is the page you should edit.
You can do this by clicking the "[edit]" located after the heading " Template documentation" (or similar), or, if you are already on the /doc page, by clicking "Edit" or "Edit source" at the top.
Follow the guidance at #Methods to add or edit the TemplateData.
If the template has TemplateData on its main page
If the template has TemplateData on its main page, you once again have two options:
- You can either move to its documentation subpage. This is the preferred option.
- Or, you can edit it on the main template page.
Moving TemplateData to the documentation subpage
To do this, click "Edit"/"Edit source" on the main template page, and look for the <templatedata>
tags, enclosed within <noinclude>
tags.
It should look something like this:
<noinclude>
{{Documentation}}
<templatedata>
{
"description": "",
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "Example parameter",
"description": "Example parameter description",
"type": "string"
}
}
}
</templatedata>
</noinclude>
Cut only the <templatedata>
tags and their contents out of the code, then save the page.
Next, edit the documentation subpage by clicking the "[edit]" located after the heading " Template documentation" (or similar).
Type a heading, like "TemplateData", then beneath it paste the TemplateData.
You can now edit the TemplateData based on the guidance at #Methods.
Editing TemplateData on the main template page
If you do not wish to move the TemplateData to the /doc page, you can edit it on the main template page. See #Methods for how to edit TemplateData.
If the template does not yet have TemplateData but has a doc subpage
If the template does not yet have TemplateData, you should add it to the documentation subpage.
Do this by clicking the "[edit]" located after the heading " Template documentation" (or similar), or, if you are already on the /doc page, by clicking "Edit" or "Edit source" at the top.
Type a heading, like "TemplateData", then add it beneath this heading.
The section #Methods explains how to add TemplateData.
Methods
Éditeur TemplateData
This is the simpler way to add or edit TemplateData, possible for inexperienced users.
L'éditeur TemplateData est un outil de l'extension TemplateData pour ajouter et modifier les données en utilisant une interface graphique. It is part of the TemplateData extension. Il est accessible en allant sur n'importe quel modèle (ou sous-page de documentation) et en cliquant le lien "Modifier" ou "Modifier wikicode". Après cela, vous verrez un bouton au-dessus de la zone de modification nommé "$manage".
After clicking "Edit" or "Edit source", you will see a button above the editing area and page title that says "Gérer TemplateData".
Cliquer sur ce bouton permet d'entrer dans l'éditeur TemplateData.
L'éditeur vous permet d'ajouter les paramètres du modèle et d'y attribuer les valeurs les plus courantes. Si la page que vous avez déjà éditée contient un bloc de TemplateData, l'information déjà documentée sera automatiquement affichée quand vous ouvrirez la page adéquate dans l'éditeur de TemplateData.
Features in the above window:
- The top item is "Language". This item allows you to enter text content in multiple different languages, which will show depending on the language setting of the user in Preferences. It will not show depending on the language wiki, as different wikis have entirely different databases of templates. If no language TemplateData exists yet, only the language of the wiki the user is on will be available, but the user can click "Add language" to add more inputs. The language code will show in brackets next to the parameters for which it can be applied to. These include descriptions and labels.
- The next item is the template description. This is the description of the template as a whole and is shown in various places to the user in the template editors while adding a template. This parameter and its effects are outlined here.
- The third item is the wikitext formatting of the template. This parameter determines how the wikitext should be laid out when the user clicks "Insert", the two main types being "inline" (on one line) and "block" (on new lines). This parameter and its effects are outlined here.
- If the user chooses "Custom", they will be able to enter a set of wikitext under "Custom format string", according to rules outlined here, to create a custom layout for the template when the user clicks "Insert".
- The fourth item is "Template parameters". This contains a list of parameters already defined in the TemplateData, if they exist. If there are parameters stated in the template's source code for which no TemplateData exists yet, you may see a button called "Add suggested parameters". These are extracted from the template's source code by looking for
{{{parametername}}}
or{{{parametername|}}}
. Clicking "Add suggested parameters" will add these parameters under their names as defined in the source code. This will also show a green notice at the top: "2 new parameters were imported: names of parameters".
- At the bottom is "Add parameter". This allows you to add a parameter manually with a custom name.
The next stage is clicking any one of the parameters in the list. This will allow you to edit that parameter's info.
All of these features and their effects are outlined at #Within a parameter's name.
- The TemplateData editor will not allow you to change a parameter to a blank "Name". If you were to write a parameter in TemplateData with a blank string as a name, this would not cause issues in the 2010 wikitext editor with TemplateWizard, but it would not show up at all in VisualEditor or the 2017 wikitext editor. This is the only mandatory field in the TemplateData editor.
- Clicking "Remove parameter information" will delete the parameter and all its information from the TemplateData. You will not be able to retrieve or undo this in the TemplateData unless you click "X" afterwards. You can undo any changes made after clicking "Apply" by hitting Ctrl+Z.
- Exiting the TemplateData editor after making changes shows a prompt asking if you're sure you want to discard your changes.
When you are finished, click "Apply".
This will automatically insert the TemplateData at the bottom of the page before the </noinclude>
tag; or, if it already exists, it will update it with the new information without changing its position at all.
The TemplateData text will also be selected when you click "Apply".
The TemplateData editor creates a "paramOrder"
parameter at the bottom of the TemplateData or updates it if it already exists.
This contains the current TemplateData parameters in the order they were displayed in the TemplateData editor.
You can change the paramOrder by dragging the parameters in different orders in the TemplateData editor using the three horizontal bars on the left.
"paramOrder"
and its effects are outlined here.
After this, click "Save" to save the revision of the page.
Manual method
The alternative is to add or edit TemplateData manually. You may need or wish to do this in some cases.
La structure des TemplateData est basée sur le standard JSON. Notez que toutes les descriptions dans un TemplateData doivent être en texte brut (pas de wikitexte, pas de liens, etc.).
It follows a few very simple rules and takes only a few dozen possible predefined parameters and values, almost always in a "parameter": "value"
format.
Adding TemplateData manually
Preconsiderations:
- If you're adding TemplateData on a template's documentation subpage, you may add it anywhere on the page; check to see if your language's Wikipedia has a preferred location for it. For example, on the English Wikipedia, TemplateData is typically near the bottom of the documentation page; on the German Wikipedia, it is typically at the top.
- If you're adding TemplateData on a template's main page (which is not preferred; see #Prior checks), you must make sure that it is within the
<noinclude></noinclude>
tags.
First, click "Edit" or "Edit source" on the respective page, then go to the position you are adding the TemplateData and write a heading like "TemplateData".
Many wikis (but not all) have a {{TemplateData header}} template, which adds a short notice about the TemplateData. If yours does, add this after the heading.
To start adding the TemplateData, type an opening and closing <templatedata>
tag and a pair of curly brackets on new lines, with an empty line between them:
<templatedata>
{
}
</templatedata>
Next, add an indent on the empty line between the two curly brackets, and start adding parameters. Details for the parameters can be found at #TemplateData parameters. Most are optional, but some are highly recommended.
Parameters can be in any order, but the order that will best correlate with what shows in the TemplateData documentation and contribute to ease of use for editors is the following:
<templatedata>
{
"description": "",
"format": "",
"params": {
"parameter1": {
"aliases": ["",""]
"label": "",
"description": "",
"type": ""
}
},
"paramOrder": [
""
]
}
</templatedata>
L'ordre des paramètres n'affecte pas le fonctionnement, tant que, ceux à l'intérieur, par exemple de l'objet #Unexpected property restent dans l'objet.
Exemple
Here is some example TemplateData for a hypothetical cleanup template. The template would display a notice, and its source code would be programmed to place the page into a dated category based on the month and year entered. The notice could also contain a link to a talk page section, if specified. The TemplateData would look something like this:
<templatedata>
{
"description": "Use this template to indicate that an article is in need of cleanup.",
"format": "inline",
"params": {
"date": {
"label": "Month and year",
"description": "The month and year that the template was added",
"type": "string",
"autovalue": "{{SUBST:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{SUBST:CURRENTYEAR}}",
"example": "January 2013",
"suggested": true
},
"reason": {
"aliases": ["1"],
"label": "Reason",
"description": "The reason the article is in need of cleanup",
"type": "string"
},
"talk": {
"aliases": ["talksection"],
"label": "Talk page section",
"description": "The section of the talk page containing relevant discussion",
"type": "string"
}
},
"paramOrder": [
"date",
"reason",
"talk"
]
}
</templatedata>
The corresponding TemplateData documentation would display as the following:
Use this template to indicate that an article is in need of cleanup.
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Month and year | date | The month and year that the template was added
| String | suggested |
Reason | reason 1 | The reason the article is in need of cleanup | String | optional |
Talk page section | talk talksection | The section of the talk page containing relevant discussion | String | optional |
Description et paramètres
Chaque paramètre de TemplateData est listé ci-dessous avec une description et un exemple. Ils sont également listés sur Extension:TemplateData#Format.
- Ces informations sont à jour en février 2020 et peuvent changer si de nouveaux paramètres sont ajoutés ou si les éditeurs de modèles reçoivent des mises à jour pour traiter certains paramètres différemment ou corriger certains comportements.
- La syntaxe wiki ne marchera pas dans la description. C'est purement une chaîne de texte brut.
- New lines ("\n") in descriptions, labels, examples or defaults will not show in any of the main editors (TemplateWizard, VisualEditor or the 2017 wikitext editor), even though they show in the auto-generated TemplateData documentation. They are replaced by a null string in input forms and by a space elsewhere.
Paramètre | Description | Exemple |
---|---|---|
description |
Le paramètre Effets Sur la page de documentation du modèle, la description s'affichera en texte brut sous la section "Données du modèle [nom du modèle]". In all main editors (VisualEditor , the Éditeur de wikicode 2017 and the 2010 wikitext editor with TemplateWizard), the description shows in two main instances:
In the VisualEditor and 2017 wikitext editor, the description gets truncated to about 50 characters under each search suggestion, followed by a "...", but the whole description shows in the main template editor window. Both are shown in grey text. In the 2010 wikitext editor with TemplateWizard, the whole description shows under each search suggestion, in grey text. In the main template editor window, descriptions longer than four lines (about 540 characters) are provided a separate scrollbar, and they are shown in black text. If not specified If the description parameter does not exist or is not specified, the text "No description." will be displayed in the TemplateData documentation below the "Template data for [template name]" subheading. Additionally:

When inserted, the template will distribute its parameters each on a new line, with single spaces between each element, like so: {{Foo | bar = baz | qux = quux }} Custom formatting: Alternatively, if the parameter is set to a custom string of wikitext, as per the rules listed at #Custom formats, the template will display the following preference notice in its TemplateData documentation:

Il y a ensuite une étiquette It should contain the name of each parameter followed by a set of TemplateData sub-parameters listed in #Within a parameter's name. Si vous avez plusieurs paramètres, répétez simplement chaque section (en commençant par l'étiquette "1") et remplissez comme vous le désirez. Notez que si un modèle a plusieurs paramètres, vous devez les séparer par une virgule dans le TemplateData, comme ceci : |

Occasionally, a template parameter is programmed to have a default value that is used unless you change it.

|
autovalue |
Vous pouvez spécifier une « valeur automatique » pour un paramètre. Lorsque les utilisateurs ajoutent le modèle sur une page, cette valeur sera ajoutée automatiquement. Par exemple, plusieurs modèles pour l’entretien des pages ont besoin que la date soit ajoutée ; si vous spécifiez une valeur automatique pour le paramètre date du modèle, alors la date sera complétée automatiquement. This parameter does not force the value to always be this value. The user can freely change the value that is automatically inputted into the parameter in the template editor. With other parameters In all main editors (VisualEditor, 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor with TemplateWizard), |
"autovalue": "{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}"

required |
Nous avons ensuite Cela contrôle simplement si ce paramètre est obligatoire pour ce modèle. Conséquences This status has several effects in VisualEditor and the Éditeur de wikicode 2017 :
In the 2010 wikitext editor with TemplateWizard, like in the other editors, it causes the parameter to automatically show up when a user inserts a template, but in this editor the parameter cannot be removed. It also does not display "Field is required" in the parameter description; rather, it lists the parameter on the side under "Required parameters". Other than this, it generally behaves the same as in the other editors, except that the prompt says that the input doesn't "match the expected format". With other parameters In VisualEditor and the 2017 wikitext editor, the "deprecated" status does not override the functionality of this parameter, but in the 2010 wikitext editor with TemplateWizard it does. See the description of "deprecated" for more info. |
"required": true
|
suggested |
Nous avons ici C’est un état pour les paramètres qui ne sont pas « obligatoires » mais qui sont recommandés car importants pour les utilisateurs du modèle. Conséquences In VisualEditor and the Éditeur de wikicode 2017 , it causes the parameter to automatically show up when a user inserts a template. If the parameter has an autovalue set, this will also automatically be in the parameter's input box. It has no other effect and doesn't show any additional text or warnings. In the 2010 wikitext editor with TemplateWizard, it does not place the parameter in the template automatically but instead causes it to be listed on the side under "Suggested parameters". The user can then click a "+" next to the parameter to add it to the template. With other parameters The "required" status overrides the functionality of this status in all main editors (VisualEditor, the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor).
It also overrides the displayed "suggested" status in TemplateData documentation (it will display "required" if both "required" and "suggested" are set to |
"suggested": true
|
deprecated |
Enfin vient Cet état est à utiliser pour les paramètres qui ne doivent plus être utilisés, mais qui continuent d’exister pour le moment. Cela pourrait être parce que l'utilisation du modèle est en train de basculer d'un jeu de paramètres à un autre. Conséquences The effect of this parameter in VisualEditor and the 2017 wikitext editor is that a grey exclamation mark shows next to the parameter's label when it is inserted, and in the parameter's information tooltip, the grey, italic text "Field is deprecated" is shown below the parameter description. It does not affect the functionality or usability of the parameter or show any additional warnings. Despite the fact that it can take a string, as of January 2020 none of the main editors (VisualEditor, the 2017 wikitext editor or the 2010 wikitext editor) display the contents of the string anywhere to users.
Inputting a string has the same effect as In the 2010 wikitext editor with TemplateWizard, setting this value as With other parameters If you set both this and "suggested" as If you set both this and "required" as In the 2010 wikitext editor with TemplateWizard, "deprecated" overrides the parameters "required" and "suggested". |
"deprecated": "Utilisez « publicationDate » à la place."
|
Note: if neither "required", "suggested" nor "deprecated" are set as true for a parameter, its status will show as "optional" in the TemplateData documentation.

Type parameter
Le paramètre "type"
signale à l'éditeur de modèles la nature de la valeur d'un paramètre.
In some cases, template editors have been programmed to modify the user interface for a certain parameter according to this TemplateData value, such as to only allow the user to enter valid values that match the specified type.
This parameter does not have any functional effect on the template parameter or its value; it merely controls how template editors see and treat the parameter in editing mode.
How to use
It is used by adding the "type"
parameter, followed by a colon and a space, then adding any of the values listed in the table below in speech marks.
Example:
"type": "string",
Effects
As of February 2020, only 5 of the 13 type values have visible effects in VisualEditor and the 2017 wikitext editor, while 8 have visible effects in TemplateWizard.
The effects of certain values are likely to change as the template editors get updates to support them. One such effort for VisualEditor and the 2017 wikitext editor is tracked in the Phabricator task T55613. A similar effort to get TemplateWizard to support the boolean value is tracked in T200664.
The currently known effects are listed as follows.

Formats personnalisés
When editing the "format"
value, you create custom formats by inputting a set of wikitext symbols using some predefined rules.
{{
- start of the template_
- content (e.g., string, integer or parameter). This underscore serves to indicate the minimum length of a value in characters and can be repeated, like_______
. If this length is not reached, it fills the remaining characters with spaces. This can be used to align all equals signs to a specific position after a parameter (if used with\n
for new lines).|
- pipe (separates parameters)=
- equals sign (precedes the value of a parameter)\n
or pressing the enter key - new line (this will display as↵
in the entry field)\n
to indent new lines)}}
- end of the template
The wikitext should at least meet the minimum of {{_|_=_}}
, otherwise there will be an invalid format string error.
Objectif | Chaîne de format | Rendu |
---|---|---|
Formatage en ligne | {{_|_=_}} inline

Erreurs
« Syntax Error in JSON » et « Bad JSON format »
Néanmoins, si vous essayez de sauvegarder cette page avec un éditeur basé sur le JavaScript, tel que l' Editeur visuel ou l'éditeur Wikitext 2017, vous aurez un message d'erreur « Syntax error in JSON » parce que l'analyseur JavaScript est plus sévère et n'autorise pas le JSON non valide.
En plus, si vous essayez d'ouvrir ce JSON non valide avec l'éditeur graphique de données de modèle, vous verrez le message d'erreur « Bad JSON format ».
This error can come up quite frequently while editing a template's TemplateData. The most common mistakes that cause this error include excess commas (such as trailing commas), missing commas and missing quotation marks.
- Examples of trailing commas:
<templatedata>
{
"description": "",
"format": "inline",
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "",
"description": "",
"type": "", // <-- This comma shouldn't be here.
}, // <-- This comma shouldn't be here.
}, // <-- This comma shouldn't be here.
}
</templatedata>
- Examples of missing commas:
<templatedata>
{
"description": "",
"format": "inline" // <-- A comma should be here.
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "",
"description": "" // <-- A comma should be here.
"type": ""
}
}
}
</templatedata>
- Example of missing quotation marks:
"description": An example description // <-- This text should have quotation marks.
Pour corriger ces erreurs, vous pouvez mettre le bloc JSON dans un valideur JSON externe tel que JSONLint et cela mettra en surbrillance les virgules et les clés qui posent problème, pour que vous puissiez les supprimer.
en raison d'un bogue qui était déjà là depuis longtemps, les utilisateurs de l'ancien éditeur de code wiki pouvaient sauvegarder des pages contenant certains types JSON non valides, tels que les clés dupliquées ou les virgules ',' à la fin du texte (voir tâche T128029).
Required property "paramOrder(number)" not found.
This error occurs if you state a parameter in "params"
that is not stated in "paramOrder"
.
The number in the square brackets refers to the parameter in "paramOrder"
that is missing. It refers to its order in the sequence, but it is one less than its actual position, since "paramOrder"
is an array; 0 is the first one, 1 is the second, etc.
"params": {
"date": { ...
},
"reason": { ...
},
"talk": { ... // <-- This parameter is not stated in "paramOrder", but it should be.
}
},
"paramOrder": [
"date",
"reason"
]
// Error: Required property "paramOrder[2]" not found.
To fix this, make sure all parameters stated in "params"
are listed in "paramOrder"
.
Alternatively, you can remove the "paramOrder"
object to remove this error.
Invalid value for property "paramOrder(number)".
This error occurs if you state a parameter in "paramOrder"
that is not stated in "params"
.
The number in the square brackets refers to the parameter in "paramOrder"
that shouldn't be there. It refers to its order in the sequence, but it is one less than its actual position, since "paramOrder"
is an array; 0 is the first one, 1 is the second, etc.
"params": {
"date": { ...
},
"talk": { ...
}
},
"paramOrder": [
"date",
"reason", // <-- This parameter is not stated in "params", but it should be.
"talk"
]
// Error: Invalid value for property "paramOrder[1]".
To fix this, make sure all parameters stated in "paramOrder"
are listed in "params"
.
Alternatively, you can remove the "paramOrder"
object to remove this error.
Property "params.parametername.required" is expected to be of type "boolean".
"suggested": "true" // <-- These quotation marks shouldn't be here.
These are boolean values, not strings, therefore they require no quotation marks.
To fix this, remove any quotation marks around the values true
or false
for these parameters.
Property "format" is expected to be ...
If the "format"
parameter exists but its value is not "inline"
, "block"
or a valid format string, you will see the error message "Property "format" is expected to be "inline", "block", or a valid format string."
"format": "notinline"
// Error : Property "format" is expected to be "inline", "block", or a valid format string.
To fix this, make sure the value after "format":
equals "inline"
or "block"
and that there no spelling mistakes. Alternatively, if it's wikitext, make sure it contains a minimum of {{_|_=_}}
and that there are no mistakes in the syntax that would normally cause a template to fail, such as duplicate equals signs or missing/duplicate curly brackets; see the section #Custom formats for the syntax for custom formats.
Alternatively, you can remove the "format"
parameter to remove this error.
Unexpected property "parametername".
This error occurs if you state a parameter that does not exist in TemplateData. This is probably due to spelling mistakes.
<templatedata>
{
"description": "",
"format": "inline",
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "",
"descriptino": "", // <-- spelling mistake
"type": ""
}
}
}
</templatedata>
It also occurs if you state a parameter in any TemplateData object that is not a parameter of that object. This may be due to spelling mistakes, or you may have written the parameter of one TemplateData object under another object that it doesn't belong to.
For example, you might have written the parameter "label"
under the root TemplateData object instead of inside "params"
:
<templatedata>
{
"description": "",
"format": "inline",
"label": "", // <-- incorrectly placed parameter
"params": {
"1": { // ↓ it should be in here
"description": "",
"type": ""
}
}
}
</templatedata>
Alternatively, if the unexpected parameter is under a template parameter inside "params"
, you'll see its name after "params.parametername." in the error.
To fix this, make sure there aren't any spelling mistakes in the parameter names, and make sure your parameters are in their correct location. Additionally, make sure you don't state any parameters that don't exist for a TemplateData object. You can check which parameters exist for an object in the section #TemplateData parameters.
Required property "params" not found.
Cette erreur (Propriété "params" demandée mais non trouvée) apparaît quand il n'existe pas d'objet "params"
dans les TemplateData.
This is a necessary object, as it contains all the details of each parameter, so to fix this error, make sure it's added and that there are no spelling mistakes.
Voir la section ci-dessus sur la manière d'ajouter le paramètre "params"
.
Limitations et avis
- Fonctionnalités manquantes – TemplateData est vraiment un exemple d’outil qui a été créé avec de peu de fonctionnalités, dans l’espoir que les utilisateurs aideraient à guider le développement de fonctionnalités telles qu’ils le désirent. Si vous voulez demander de nouvelles fonctionnalités pour TemplateData, faites-le-nous savoir.
- Retards pour l'affichage dans les modèles – Après que TemplateData a été ajouté à un modèle, les métadonnées devraient être visibles immédiatement lorsque le modèle est ouvert dans l’éditeur visuel. Toutefois, il est possible que cela prenne plusieurs heures avant que les métadonnées ne soient affichées. Vous pouvez forcer la mise à jour en faisant une modification vide sur la page du modèle lui-même (pas la sous-page de documentation). Pour faire une modification vide, ouvrez la page du modèle en édition et enregistrez la page sans faire aucun changement ni ajouter de résumé de modification.
- Problèmes en cours – Une liste des bogues actuels et des demandes de fonctionnalités est disponible sur le gestionnaire de bugs Wikimedia.
