| Resolved | Mooeypoo | T54029 VisualEditor: Template parameters with "autofill" TemplateData status should be autofilled | |||
| Resolved | Mooeypoo | T53428 TemplateData: Add an "autofill" attribute for parameters which clients would automatically insert if none specified |
That's not the meaning of the "default" flag on parameters, but of the proposed "autofill" concept from bug 51428; relabelling for clarity.
