The Template Parameters tool is available for viewing template parameter usage in articles. It works with TemplateData to show the frequency of parameter name usage in a template's mainspace transclusions, along with whether or not each parameter is listed in that template's TemplateData code as a supported parameter. For a required parameter, it can display a list of pages where the template is missing that parameter. The tool also shows commonly used values for each parameter. Each report is updated monthly and does not reflect changes made to articles or to the TemplateData code after the report's generation.
Example:
By default, the template links for the template page:
