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...

I'm happy to help setting up such tasks if somebody volunteers to mentor
(more than one mentor means less work for everybody) and if somebody
could add some boilerplate text at

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.
