I have a few questions about making a template using VisualEditor. When you click template, type in the template name, and get to editing the template, "Add parameter" comes up. So to my understanding you have to type in a parameter from the template in the box, correct? Then you add what you want to go in that parameter. How exactly does wikia expect users to know the parameters of the template? So basically you have to go to the template page, go to the edit mode, and figure out the parameters yourself. Why aren't the parameters preset when you add the template? I have a huge problem with this. Can someone explain this to me because I feel I might be getting the wrong idea.
