Enables a dynamic Feature roadmap — see Semantic MediaWiki#For software features.
Displays a feature's values and also defines its semantics for the Feature_roadmap. It's based on {{Feature request}} (will some day replace it), but displays several extra feature properties, and makes semantic annotations of them. Both templates use {{Definition table}} to lay display
Usage
{{Feature_tracking
|Feature subcategory=A subcategory of [[Category:Software features]]
|Requesters=Deployments, engineers, or both who support the request (separated by commas)
|Requirements=User-level requirement definition; Links to detailed wiki pages, mailing list threads, or other resources are welcome
*or
*a
*list
*of
*them
|Specification=Design and technical implementation ideas; Links to detailed wiki pages, mailing list threads, or other resources are welcome
*or a list
*of relevant links
|Owners=Names of developers and/or champions of the request who will ensure that progress is made (separated by commas)
|Priority=9 (9=unassigned 1 = Critical,2 = High,3 = Medium, 4 = Low, 5 = not needed)
|Helps deployability=yes or no
|Target for 9.1=yes or no
}}
(The template used to have a Name parameter, but this is now unused. You can remove it from invocations of the template, though it doesn't hurt to leave it in.)
Sample
| Feature subcategory | Is part of::Category:XTest feature | |
| Requesters | {{#arraymap:User:St. NickN, OLPC Antarctica|,|x|Requested by::x}} | |
| Requirements | User level requirement definition; Links to detailed wiki pages, mailing list threads, or other resources are welcome
| |
| Specification | Design and technical implementation ideas; Links to detailed wiki pages, mailing list threads, or other resources are welcome
| |
| Owners | {{#arraymap:John Doe, Jane Doe|,|x|Contact person::User:x}} | |
| Priority | Priority::4 | |
| Helps deployability? | Helps deployability::no | |
| Target for 9.1? | Target for 9.1::no |
Pre-filling
Pages like Feature roadmap and Features-test can use <inputbox to pre-fill a new page with the contents in Template:Feature tracking/Preload (which is the default text above. This helps less experienced editors to use Template:Feature tracking appropriately.
