I was thinking about a new API function:

For a given Wikitext or article, return a list of all used templates (direct and nested), together with the used key/value pairs.

Nested templates could be passed in the nested structure, or as a list with parent id information. (I'd prefer the latter, since it's easier to parse if you don't need the nesting tree)

Output could offer a format "RDF". Yay cheap semantic web! :-)

Anyone working on something like that? Anyone interested in writing/using it? (I'm sure there's plenty of applications to use it with; I have a few myself)

Cheers, Magnus

Having templates and their parameters for my bot is cute, but frankly much more practical is to modify them. Since the manipulation should happen inside the bot, this feature isn't really interesting for me.

Though my interests are limited to AWB's style of operations.
