Before the method fetchRequestAlways() was doing two entirely
different things. Note how the two function arguments are
split now. Each method uses only one of them.

These methods are special in so far that they create *minimal*
wikitext where optional whitespace is not preserved. I tried
to rename the methods to reflect this, but could not find a
caller. What's used instead are the .serialize() methods.

A lot of the checks are redundant. The first check still is
redundant because the later two cover everything as well. But
I left it for performance reasons.
Additionally:
* There was no test for the method.
* This patch also updates a few pieces of documentation in the
same class.

If a known parameter is present using one of it's aliases, then
only the aliased name should be shown to the user. This patch,
therefore, resolves the issue of the same parameter being added
to the sidebar twice.
When adding a parameter that is aliased, it will receive the same
position as the non-aliased parameter it is replacing.

This also removes a few lines of text that don't explain
anything that would not be obvious from the code or @return
tag anyway.

This fixes a minor issue in the spec class. In the first step,
parameters from the template are added to the list of known
parameters. Later, aliases are resolved. The original behavior
was that such a parameter moved to the end of the list. This
is rather unexpected.
This dosn't have much of an impact. The pretty much only place
where the parameter order from the spec can be seen is in the
parameter search widget. Still I believe it's worth fixing.

This is just not necessary. It removes a level of indirection
that possibly makes it harder to understand the code. It makes
it easier to possibly get rid of unused methods.

This doesn't "extend". It was never used like this. What it
actually does is to link between a (cached) TemplateData blob
and the spec class that want's to use it.
Is this the best possible name?
* fillFromTemplateData( … )?
* propagateTemplateDocumentation( … )?
* readDocumentationFrom( templateData )?
* …?
Do we want to rename the "spec" class as well?
* MWTemplateDocumentation?
* MWTemplateMetadata?
* MWTemplateDataAccessor?
* …?

Just store the JSON blob from the TemplateData API as is.
This comes with a bunch of nice consequences:
* Less code.
* Less class properties that don't do anything but copy what's
in the TemplateData blob.
* Easier to understand what's going on. The `this.templateData`
property is now a reference to the *actual* TemplateData
documentation.
* No need to cache the documentedParamOrder. Just do it when
needed.
This also removes an unused feature from the `extend()` method
that didn't made sense anyway. Before it was possible to merge
conflicting documentations. But this is not only unused, it's
impossible to have multiple documentations for the same
template.
The method acts as a straight setter now. The next patch will
rename it accordingly.

Instead of faking entries in this.params, let's use a separate
tiny data structure to keep track of parameters we have seen so
far, and in which order.
This finally allows to easily distinguish between documented and
undocumented parameters.
Bug: T285483
Change-Id: Idf62b0661178a3bbef7e817edf016dbd572d415b
The so called "spec" class keeps track of parameters that have
been used before, no matter if documented via TemplateData or
not. Removed parameters are still "known" (i.e. have been seen
before).
This feature allows to easily find previously used parameters
names when an undocumented parameter was removed and the user
tries to add it again.

In I04b8a14fbec7be5a1c4defabf92e94f694c1e638 we sepearted params from
aliases. There we missed that re-filling the parameters from the

While the term "canonical" is not wrong, I find it still
somewhat ambiguous.
1. "Canonical" could mean different things. E.g. is the order
of parameters as they appear in the article's wikitext the
"canonical" one? It's possible to argue like this, esp. if a
template doesn't have TemplateData documentation. In this case
the only order known is the one from the wikitext.
2. "Canonical" sounds like the parameters must be reordered.
But this should never happen. Not having dirty diffs is more
important than having the parameters in a specific order.

This property is a reference to a static variable with the
same name, initialized at the very top of the file. All
instances of the class use the same cache. They all use the
shared specCache directly, not the reference.

These comments don't add any knowledge. The text is either
duplicated, or the method signatur says it already. Having
to read these comments just to realize that they don't give
any additional information is not helpful, even error-prone.

Wait, what's going on here? This patch looks like it changes the
behavior of this code. But it doesn't. Here is what happened
before:
* Let's say a template contains 2 parameters, A and B.
* We don't know yet if these names are aliases.
* getParameterNames() returns [ "A", "B" ].
* extend() is called. The TemplateData documentation contains
the parameters "B" and "C". "C" does have an alias "A".
* extend() can't find "C" and adds it to the end, as if it's a
new parameter.
* extend() also iterates the aliases. For each alias it creates
a reference to the specification object. In this case a
reference from "A" to "C" is created.
* But "A" already exists. The position of "A" doesn't change,
but the specification now says it's an alias.
* getParameterNames() skips aliases. It skips "A" and instead
returns the new "C" from the end of the list.
This was the behavior before. It's unchanged, proven by the tests.
Change-Id: I04b8a14fbec7be5a1c4defabf92e94f694c1e638
The idea is to not actually store all these default values, but
fall back to the default only when needed.
Some more details:
* The only remaining property is ….name. The only reason to
have this property is to distinguish between aliases and
primary parameter names. This will be reworked in a later
patch.
* The description falls back to null because this is the
documented fallback, not undefined.
* The default value falls back to "", same as the auto-value.
Why not null you might ask. This is intentional. Both the
auto- and default value are effectively wikitext snippets,
while the example is a label in the VE UI.

This is done for two reasons:
1. It fixes the behavior of two methods in rare edge-case
situations. They aren't documented to return undefined.
2. It reduces the amount of stuff this class stores when it's
nothing but a default value anyway. Note this patch does this
for the template-level properties only. Another patch will do
the same for the parameter-level properties.

This reflects much better how this method is meant to behave.
Note I will continue to remove documentation that doesn't
explain anything in addition to what the code already says.

This reverts the revert commit d47b95eb4a.
When no `paramOrder` is given, known parameters should appear in the
order returned from the TemplateData API.
Previously, when TemplateData was present but no paramOrder
specified, then the parameters would appear in alphabetical order as
"unknown" parameters. Now they will appear in the order listed in
TemplateData. This is similar to the fully-specified behavior when
paramOrder is present.
This will only affect the Visual Editor template dialog, and has no
effect on serialization.

This makes the code more readable and easier to reason about.
The ESLint rule responsible for this code style was removed
just recently.
Notes:
* I focus on classes that are relevant for what the WMDE team
does right now.
* I merge multiple `var` keywords only when the variables are
strongly connected.
* Caching the length in a for loop makes the code hard to
read, but not really faster when it's a trivial property
access anyway.
