Just randomly going through the list of all the CS1 citation templates I
found 2 with no template data out of the first 3 on the list i.e.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_AV_media_notes

I may make use of some of those at some point so I could probably mentor
them.

There are certainly lots of templates out there with no template data; it's
potentially a huge task. I can't see saying to someone "pick a few out of
this list"...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Template_documentation_pages

Is there a list somewhere of commonly used templates we should make sure
have TD?

I found this but it doesn't seem very mature...
