What + Why
When a user is editing a page it's not obvious which templates are appropriate for use on the page. Right now a user has to guess what a template might be called and start typing in a search box, and when they see matches for their search it's not clear which results are "good"
In this task, we want to add metadata about templates as social proof - if a template is widely used then it's more likely to be useful
Details
- As a contributor I should be able to see the most transcluded templates in my wiki, so that I can quickly see and use the most popular templates
- As a contributor, when I search for a template, I should see transclusion count so that I have more confidence in the template I am using.
Goals
- Improve the rate of articles with templates
- Increase the number of editors adding a template
Research findings / data
Designs
- TBD
Out of scope
- Creating a community configuration for suggested templates
- Changing search terms or search algorithm
- Changing the UX once a user has selected a template.
