Manual:Extension/Workflows/Activity/SetTemplateParams

Description

The SetTemplateParams activity allows template parameters to be set automatically on a page.

• Templates are accessed by the order of appearance on the page.
• Non-existing templates are counted as links, so they do not count in this list.
• Params inside the template can be specified by their name, or the index in case of non-named params. Index for non-named params starts at 1 (not 0!), as to be consistent with how template params are accessed in the template itself.
• Nested templates are not supported as of now.
