I found this while working on T274551, which is all about the
definition of "empty".
In the old sidebar a parameter's name is dimmed (gray) as long as
the parameter's value is empty. This stops working entirely when
there is a default value.
My first impulse was "this is a bug". When there is a default
value, both the empty string and the default value (when the user
enters it exactly) typically trigger the same behavior: The
template uses the default value, just as if the user entered it.
But this code is correct because of the way it is used. Only
parameters that are "truly" empty should be visually marked as
such. The moment there is a default value it is either impossible
to change this back to an empty string – meaning the parameter
can never be truly empty – or the empty string is meaningful user
input.

Reasoning:
* format=json must be the default. Nothing else makes sense in
the context of this code. This should not be a surprise.
* formatversion=2 is only a default when the custom
getContentApi() is used, but not when mw.Api is used. One
might argue that it's safer to always specify formatversion=2.
However, this is not done in other places in this codebase.
It should never be done or always.
* I find it confusing when the action=… is missing. Let's not
rely on this default.

Some details:
* The config is not optional in these cases.
* This patch continues to remove some comments that don't add
any information but just repeat what the code already says.

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.

This reverts commit 950a5300dc.
Reason for revert: This broke several workflows. The reason is
that MWParameterPlaceholderPage & MWParameterSearchWidget both
hold references to the MWTemplateModel. This model is not
always the same. The dialog might be the same when a template
is edited multiple times. But the model might be a new one.
From this point on the MWParameterSearchWidget pulls data from
an outdated model.

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 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.

* Re-focus the input field after closing the message.
* Store only the message key. That's all that's needed.
* Avoid a class property that's not needed.
* Use the config object instead of calling .setLabel() manually.

We can skip all the up and down message passing by persisting the
parameter placeholders for each template dialog. If the parameter
list is expanded then the placeholder is deleted, on being created
again it will still have state.
To test: create a transclusion with two templates, each having many
parameters. "Add more information" to add parameters, expand the
list by clicking "Show <num> more fields", then delete the parameter
placeholder using the trash cans. Try different permutations to fool
the cache or collide with another template.
This is preparation for other template sidebar dialog work.

These don't add any knowledge but make the code harder to read

This class represents a raw wikitext snippet. There is also no
base class that would require us to follow a generic
getValue/setValue naming scheme.

This does have a few advantages:
* Less code is executed and less memory consumed when these
elements are not needed.
* Code that belongs together is together.
* No local class properties are created when they are not
needed in the code below.
This patch is kind of a proof of concept. It touches only a few
classes we currently actively work with. If this change is fine
we can change some of the other classes the same way.

The main motivation for this patch is actually the comment. The
so called "spec" contains all parameters that are present in a
template, no matter if they are present in the TemplateData
documentation or not. This is critical here.

We have two cases now that we want to cover here:
- Either we're inserting a new template and start a "fresh"
transclusion, then we want to use "search" in the headlines
- Or we're adding a new template to an exsisting
transclusion, then we want to use "add" in the headlines
