--- Comment #4 from Excirial <[email protected]> ---
I suppose it may be a good idea to add an alias field as well. Some templates
use short or numerical notations that would be difficult to understand without
a different label. 

For example: [[Template:Icon]]. The parameter list would be something akin to
this:
{
"FLRC", "FLR", "FFLC", "ACC", "GAH", "GAR"
}

This would already be rather messy to work with (Not even considering what new
editors might think when they saw this). However, if i had a template that
stated {1,2,3,4,5} while these values represented "Accepted", "Rejected",
"Fixed", "Unresolved", "New" a dropdown containing these numbers would only be
confusing. 

Instead, i suppose one would want:
{
"1", "New"
"2", "Accepted"
"3", "Resolved"
"4", "Fixed"
"5", "Rejected"
}

The right column would be the value displayed in the dropdown, the left column
would be what the Visual Editor would pass to the template as the parameter.
