Bug ID: 54140
Summary: Should TemplateData be a special namespace combined
with ContentHandler?
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: TemplateData
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected],

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
e.g. Template:Information could be documented at TemplateData:Information
instead of inside the source code of Template:Information.
Pros:
1. More standard use of ContentHandler for JSON across projects
2. Document templates without needing to make edits to templates that are
potentially transcluded across large swaths of pages
3. Easier to implement custom editors for ContentHandler pages than for
portions of wikitext pages.
Cons:
1. Would need to have two separate systems - one for the JSON storage, then
another to transclude the generated documentation onto template doc pages, e.g.
with <templatedata /> or {{#templatedata}} or so (no params needed, because the
TemplateData namespace page can be of the same name, like a talk page)
2. Would need to rework the existing editor (sorry, mooeypoo) to work with the
new system
