Description Maggie Dennis 2013-06-29 13:52:03 UTC 
Taken from VisualEditor feedback page:

Trying when editing articles to think "Could I use VE for this?" I came on an article where the {{AfD}} template had been removed and needed to be restored. The easiest way to get that right is to call up from the history a version with the template in place, and copy it from there to the current version. This doesn't seem possible in VE: after selecting the template so that it is highlighted, Ctrl-C doesn't copy it, and right-click doesn't offer a "Copy" option.

Comment 1 Chris McKenna 2013-07-02 22:52:48 UTC 
Even if you could paste it in, that wouldn't do any good as the VE would surround the template with <nowiki> tags. Entering any form of wikisyntax in the VE currently results in the editor thinking that you want the literal text to be displayed. This bug therefore (partly) depends on that bug being fixed too.
Comment 2 Matthew Flaschen 2013-07-09 22:11:22 UTC 
I believe Maggie means copying the VisualEditor representation of a template, not copying wikitext.
Comment 3 James Forrester 2013-07-09 22:12:27 UTC 
This will be solved by bug 41193 when that is fixed; merging to that.
