Could there be any Template(Data) related tasks that could be worked on

Templates from the list at XXXX by doing YYYY"?

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
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2014#Common_instructions_for_tasks

​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.
