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.

Usage: {{Color|color|text}}

Examples:

• {{color|red|example text}} → example text
• {{color|#00F|example text}} → example text
• {{color|white|example text|bg=black}} → example text
• {{color|#000|box ''without'' tooltip|css=border:1px solid #7F7|title=}} → box without tooltip

Short forms:

• {{color||default color|bg=cyan}} → default color
• {{color|b|black color|bg=gold}} → black color
• {{color|w|white color|bg=purple}} → white color

To draw just a color box with bg-color, use it like

• {{Color||{{0|00}}|bg=#0a0}} → 00   or   {{Color|1=#F0F|2=XX|bg=#F0F}} → XX   or   the short form {{Cbox|#CCC}} → 00

To just tooltip a text, use it like
The <u>{{color|#000|underlined text|title=tooltip example}}</u> is ''{{W|tooltip}}ped'' : 0 The underlined text is tooltipped.

It is also possible to define additional CSS data, e.g.
{{color|b|'''padded box'''|bg=#CFC|css=border:2px dotted #F80;padding:0 8px|title=CSS example}} → padded box

For colors see: Web colors. Three-digit hexadecimal color tables are shown there.

The bg-color is tooltipped — move the cursor to the field to see
