This is related to Bug 50855 about parser functions and magic words. When I have a sentence on a page like this: Choose the "{{int:visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip}}" item in the "{{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}}" menu. I want to be able to: (1) copy and paste; (2) edit; and (3) create the {{int:foo}} parts. Right now, I can only copy them for re-use elsewhere on the page if I select a bigger block of text (so "{{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}}", but not just {{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}}). I can't edit them at all; it's an uneditable alienated text block. Given the long strings of similar names for some of these items, it would be really handy to be able to copy and paste something like {{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}} and only need to change the "insert" bit to "cite-label", or to fix a typo in the name. It would also be nice to have a sensible system for creating these things. At the moment, it can only be done through this sequence: Insert > Template, "Other options", Content, type in the wikitext, and Insert transclusion. However, my main concern is just being able to edit existing ones.
Update: I can insert parser functions by adding a "template" named (for example) "int:vector-view-edit". It says there's no TemplateData, but it adds it.
