The dbPedia mapping wiki[1] has this information, at least to some

can see
that the "country" parameter maps to the "country" proeprty in the

Sounds good. We also have a problem on en.Wikipedia (and presumably elsewhere) of inconsistency in template parameter naming ("latitude", "lat" and "latd" all mean the same thing, for example). Some templates even have to support multiple versions, for backwards compatibility.
If as part of this exercise we could resolve that, it would be a bonus. Though I expect some resistance form those allergic to change...
If it helps, DBpedia can provide counts of property names per template. we already use that to generate some mapping stats e.g. http://mappings.dbpedia.org/server/statistics/en/
