TemplateData's central structure is encoded in [[JSON]] format, and the schema is fairly simple. The first thing to do is to type out a pair of <code><nowiki><TemplateData></nowiki></code> tags directly on the template page itself inside {{tag|noinclude}} tags, or anywhere on the template's documentation sub-page if it has one, like so:

<source lang=html+handlebars>

<pre>

<TemplateData>

TemplateData goes here

</TemplateData>

</presource>

<small>N.B. The preceding is incorrect code if used as it is and will therefore throw a JSON error if used; see [[#Completing the TemplateData information]] below for more information.</small>

On English Wikipedia, you can also use the {{tl|Format TemplateData}} template to generate a more "conventional" presentation of TemplateData suitable for use in [[Wikipedia:Template documentation|Template documentation]]. Instead of the above, write this at the top of the documentation page:

<source lang=html+handlebars>

<pre>

{{Format TemplateData

|1=<TemplateData>

Line 27:

|TOC=1

}}

</source>

</pre>
