It's possible, though writing TemplateData needs a reasonably strong grasp of the local community's expectations about template usage and all of the complexities that goes with that. CC'ed to Elitre and WhatamIdoing in case they might be interested in mentoring.

Just randomly going through the list of all the CS1 citation templates I found 2 with no template data out of the first 3 on the list i.e.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_AV_media_notes
I may make use of some of those at some point so I could probably mentor them.
There are certainly lots of templates out there with no template data; it's potentially a huge task. I can't see saying to someone "pick a few out of this list"... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Template_documentation_pages
Is there a list somewhere of commonly used templates we should make sure have TD?
I found this but it doesn't seem very mature... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Accessibility/Most_widel...
