--- Comment #10 from kipod <[email protected]> --- for many many simple templates, just getting the list of parameter names is enough for even moderately experienced editors. the editor may even be well familiar with the template, but she does not necessarily remembers the exact name (case sensitive) of every parameters. regarding your 2nd use case: are you aware that this tool (prepopulate templatedata editor) is already written and working? written by wmf volunteer (intern? gsoc student? not sure), [[mw:. User:Mooeypoo]], and works on hewiki for quite some time. this tool already includes "import parameters from template" button - last time i checked, it was working quite well. see [[mw:MediaWiki:Gadget-templatedata-core.js]], function "importtemplateparams()" if your comment meant to describe it rather than suggesting to build it, i apologize for the confusion. bottom line: having templatedata is good, but when it does not exist, just seeing the list of parameters (including unpopulated) is hugely perferrable to not seeing them. peace. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
