VisualEditor: required parameter not showing
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Author: manueltassi91

Description:
In itwiki, we've noticed that when including [it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:A] in a page using VE doesn't show all required parameters, but just one. In fact, with VE there should be three required parameters ("Motivazione", "Data di inserimento" "Argomento"), but in the dialog only "Motivazione" is shown.

Possibly a dupe of bug 50747, but still: if a parameter is mandatory, I need to 1) know it is, 2) know I need to add it or the template will be broken. I don't understand why we 1) aren't making the user aware that such parameters exist, 2) are even hiding them, dooming templates to be incomplete and users to be confused.

Is this still valid? I just checked and the three required parameters are showing.

No. At the moment the problem seems to be solved.

I wonder if it was just waiting for someone to null edit the template page. I guess this bug is WFM.
