Allow transfer and extension of template parameter values
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Background
On de.wikipedia.org the Information template has parameters that don't exist in the Wikimedia Commons Information template. The Wikimedia Commons template has an other fields parameter though, that could be used to extend it to show more information.

Since this field needs to be filled with a special template[1], the information form the source can only be kept, when an extension of the original parameter value is possible. For that we would need to support a more complex way to parse and transfer templates and values.

Example:

{{Information|
Anmerkung = das Bild wurde mit einer Drohne aufgenommen
}}

could become

{{Information|
Other fields = {{Information field | Name = Remarks | Value = das Bild wurde mit einer Drohne aufgenommen}}
}}
