Bug ID: 55882
Summary: The order of parameters is lost when using
templatesWithParams
Product: Pywikibot
Version: core (2.0)
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General

In compat, templatesWithParams from class Page used to
provide a pair containing the template name and a list of parameters,
with the full "key=value" string. Nowadays, we're getting a dictionary
instead of that list. Normally there is nothing wrong with that,
except that in Python 2 the dictionary is unordered, which means that:
* the order of the parameters is forever lost - this can be easily solved using
OrderedDict instead.
* the original text cannot be reconstructed (because of the above and
the missing whitespace information) - this means there is no easy way
to identify and/or replace a particular instance of the template in a
page with many identical templates.
