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
|Name=A brief less-than-one-line summary of the feature, used as the title
|Feature subcategory=A subcategory of [[Category:Software features]]
|Requesters=Deployments, engineers, or both who support the request

|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

|Priority=1-5 (1 = Critical,2 = High,3 = Medium, 4 = Low, 5 = ???)
|Helps deployability=yes or no
|Target for 9.1=yes or 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.
