Bug ID: 50760
Summary: Visualeditor (Suggestion): Extend the templateData
specification with Suggested Values.
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently TemplateData support a Default Value in its specification, but it
would be convenient to amend this with a set of suggested values. These values
could be served to the user trough a combobox (Input + Dropdown) where one
could either type a value, or select one from the dropdown list.
Rationale for this:
Many templates a small set of accepted values for a single parameter. For
example, [[Template:Coord]] contains the "Display" parameter that accepts the
values "Inline", "Title" and "Inline+Title". Having these in a dropdown would
be more convenient then having to type them (Which would require browsing to
the documentation as well). The same applies to the "Type" parameter in that
template, which has multiple values as well.
I suppose this could use three parameters:
* ParameterName (The name of the parameter)
* Alias (The non cryptic name of the parameter, displayed in the dropdown)
* Description (A help text that displays what the parameter value does / is
intended for)
