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

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.
