I was also confused by its [Manage template documentation] button, I thought at first clicking it would let you edit the /doc subpage of a template, but it brings up the interface for editing the <templatedata> block. The block does replace a lot of hand-written template documentation; might <templatedata> be internationalized some day? It's a really cool feature! It saves me opening "Templates used on this page" to open a template in a new tab just to remind me of its parameters. -- =S Page Features engineer _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
