Vorlagenmeister has been available in dewiki and huwiki since 2007. The newer built-in tools (TemplateData, the VisualEditor's template tool and the older TemplateWizard) were released with stable versions ~10 year ago, but still haven't achieved feature parity with this gadget tool. However, the release of these official tools diminished the incentives for maintaining and developing Vorlagenmeister as the built-in solutions are enabled by default, hence more widely adopted and also integrate better with TemplateData.
The purpose of this ticket is to gather tickets that, if resolved, would create feature parity with Vorlagenmeister for the built-in tools. These requested features would not only help properly deprecate Vorlagenmeister, but also improve the user experience for template users and editors across all wikis.
