Description Richard Morris 2013-07-22 05:26:59 UTC
Many templates are redirects from a short name to a long name. An example is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Commons_cat which is a redirect to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Commons_category and has 68742 pages transcluding it. Even though Commons_category has template data specified, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Commons_cat/doc redirects to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Commons_category the visual editor does not pick up the correct parameters in the template dialog box. 

There should be a way of making the dialog work for redirecting templates without having to duplicate the documentation.
