Hey Callanecc

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

ACC + holiday = huh

You are supposed to be on holiday not suspending stewards from ACC :P Last i noticed they seem to have an exemption and the one in question is also an admin independent of the later steward position. He tends to be active in the IRC channel usually a few hours from now. This is one of those things apparently either noone told you of or noone told me has been changed. delirious & lost ☯ ^~hugs~ 03:46, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I sort of have internet access so I thought I'd check in and see what needed to be done at ACC and ArbCom. I'm thinking it's something I didn't know about. I searched the Google Group for his username and didn't find anything about an exemption so I suspended. Sorry about that, would you please apologise for me, since I don't have access to IRC at the moment so can't myself. Thanks for letting me know.
