|text=[[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension: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 [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]] and possibly other tools like [[Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Upload Wizard|Upload Wizard]].

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

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