Hi,
I know that on Wikia sites there's a tool available when editing in the Visual Editor that allows one to choose from all the templates on the Wikia site, and when one selects the template one wishes to use it loads the fields for said template and allows one to edit them all in this pop-up window before embedding this template into the article. It makes inserting several-input templates like infoboxes far easier and I was wondering if something like this existed for local MediaWikis when operating in source mode. I was wondering if it might be possible, for instance (like if something different to this is possible I'm still happy to hear it), if the WikiEditor extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor) could be given an additional tool with these capabilities.
If you're wondering what I mean by this "tool" for inserting templates see http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Templates#Adding_pre-existing_templates .
Thanks for your time, Brenton
You mean integrating WikiEditor with TemplateData https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TemplateData, don't you? I have been planning to write some JavaScript for the purpose for a few years...

Sounds like it. Any idea when you could manage it?

Dunno :-( But please follow T59232 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T59232 and provide feedback there (if you agree with the concept).
