Wikipedia talk:TemplateData

Operational
What about instead of "Template data is the standardized description of a template", include "Template data is the standardized description and operation parameters of a template"?.

For example, to indicate the template must always be substituted (parameter in the description) and will always be substituted when the template is used (operation derived from the description parameter). BoldLuis (talk) 14:59, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That doesn't really parse as standard English. It is unclear what you are trying to communicate. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:07, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Information needed about custom "format" options
Template:Infobox language/doc has a format option that is different from the two options shown in these instructions. Is there a place where advanced options for that field are explained? Maybe a link to mw:Help:TemplateData is needed? – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:29, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You will undoubtedly need to refer to the template documentation as a whole and ask at that template's talk page if it's still not clear. TemplateData is not a substitute for proper documentation of a template's functioning, and the use of a given parameter really cannot be standardized from template-to-template other than by convention.

 * I think you may misunderstand my question. I'm looking for documentation, here on the English Wikipedia, that explains the format option within TemplateData. I am not asking about a format parameter in a specific template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:54, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

TemplateData needed at Template:Annotation/doc
Can someone please add TemplateData to this template, which has 1,300 transclusions? Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:50, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
