TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.

You can help by suggesting a new name. To do this use the template like this:

{{rename|new name.jpg|{{{8}}}}}

This media object can not yet be renamed because:

  • the template {{Rename}} does not specify a target media name or
  • the requested file extension is different from the current file extension or
  • a file already exists at the target media name.

Please help fix this by:

  • checking if the rename meets one of the valid reasons on Commons:File renaming:
  • removing this template if a rename is not appropriate or
  • replacing this template with {{Rename|target name|numeric reason|text reason for rename}}

Ensure the target has the same extension, and that there is no image there.

Admins can also do the rename now by

  1. check if file is used and
  2. add {{Universal replace|Rename|newimage|reason=[[Commons:File renaming|File renamed]]}} to CommonsDelinker’s commands (Quick adding) (remember to replace "newimage" with the actual name)
  3. clicking here to perform the move (don't forget to remove this template after that).
and tags the file as Category:Media renaming requests needing target.
