More a question that a bug. How do you specify an alias using templateData? There are lots of examples which use alternate capitalisation for parameters. For example {{Infobox World Heritage Site}}
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_World_Heritage_Site
uses both 'Image' and 'image' to specify an image. To specify both makes the documentation clumsy. An alias would be ideal.

Also {{Quote}}}
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Quote
can be given in two forms, either positional:
{{quote|phrase|person|source}} 
or named:
{{quote|text=phrase|sign=person|source=source}}
Currently both are documented but it would be nicer to use aliases.

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TemplateData#Defining_a_TemplateData_block

Example:

{
  params: {
    image: {
      label: 'File name',
      ...,
      aliases: ['1', 'Image', 'Filename', .. ]
    }
  }
}
