what needs to be set-up in a local wiki to get the
{{TemplateBox}} to
properly generate a “Template data” section?
1. install and activate extension/TemplateData
2. make sure the following modules are installed
a. Module:Date
b. Module:JSON
c. Module:Languages
d. Module:TemplateBox
3. ???
i now understand that the “Template data” section on a Template page
can be generated using either a {{TemplateBox}} section or a
<templatedata></templatedata> section, however, if i try to copy the
source of
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Artwork/doc and
save it in my local wiki it does not work. i get “Syntax error in
JSON”. i can use the Special:Export and Special:Import pages to create
that doc page, but then the “Template data” section of the page still
says “Syntax error in JSON”.
even using a simple {{TemplateBox}} example does not work locally,
using Special:ExpandTemplates, whereas it does work on commons.
{{TemplateBox
| useTemplateData=1
| 1 = author
| 1aliases = Author
| 1d = For some objects "author" is more appropriate term than
"artist". In most cases either "author" or "artist" should
be used,
not both.
| 1def =
| 1stat = optional
| 1d-td-en = For some objects "author" is more appropriate term
than "artist". In most cases either "author" or "artist"
should be
used, not both.
| 1label-en = Author
| 1type = string
}}
