Alexander Wienerberger  (1891–1955)
Alternative names	Alexander Kozlovsky
Description	Austrian engineer and photographer Wienerberger was recruited into the Army of the Austro-Hungarian empire during World War I. He was taken prisoner in 1915 and stayed in Russia after the war, where he spend 19 years until 1934. He was a chemical engineer specializing in explosives, and he built a chemical laboratory. In the 1920s he was a political prisoner in Lubyanka Prison, Moscow. From 1930? he established chemical factories in the Soviet Union, and worked as technical director. In 1931 a daughter was born. In 1933 he was technical director of a synthetic factory in Kharkiv and was witness to the man-made famine orchestrated by the Soviet Government, the Holodomor. His photographs — made with a Leica camera — are some of about only about 100 images that have been verified of this crisis. (Sometimes photos from the famine of 1921–1922 from Wolgau region are used erroneously to portray the Holodomor.) Back in Austria in 1934 he gave the Vienna Archbishop Theodor Innitzer an album with 25 pictures and hand written commentaries. In 1935 in Vienna, Ewald Ammende published the book Muss Russland Hungern? ("Must Russia Starve?") with pictures from Wienerberger. In 1939, Wienerberger published Hart auf Hart ("Hard Times") about his time as an engineer in the Soviet Union, which was compatible with the Nazi-regime. He also published other photographs of the Holodomor.

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.
