Wikimedia Commons has lots of template templates, but none was really able to describe the parametrizing.

Explanation

It is necessary to distinguish between a template and its parameter names and parameter values, and this meta-template with its meta-parameter-names and meta-parameter-values.

In general, each parameter is described with a meta-pair |pn= |n= , an optional meta-parameter p1...p16 for the name and an unnamed meta-parameter for the value.
For unnamed parameters this name can be the number; if even that is not needed some or all named meta-parameters may dismiss.

Examples

After specifying the template name, its parameter values are specified with the unnamed meta-parameters; its parameter names can be specified with the meta-parameters p1 to p_n.

To describe the parameters of template Tle, the following can be used:
{{ Tle | T = template-name | 1 = parm-value1 | 2 = parm-value2 | ... | n = parm-value_n | p1 = parm-name1 | p2 = parm-name2 | ... | p_n = parm-name_n }}

A template with only unnamed parameters e.g.
{{ Example | 1 = parm-value1 | 2 = parm-value2 | ... | n = parm-value_n }}

or without the numbers
{{ Example | parm-value1 | parm-value2 | ... | parm-value_n }}

Example

The template {{Color}} has two unnamed parameters (1=color, 2=text) and three named parameters (bg, title and css). With
{{Tle|T=color|text color|any text|p3=bg|background color|p4=title|tooltip text|p5=css|CSS attributes}}
this description is made: {{ Color | text color | any text | bg = background color | title = tooltip text | css = CSS attributes }}

Without any meta-parameter {{Tle}} just shows the template name: {{ Clr }} or {{ Clr }}.
