Description

Imported from Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Editing/Quickly add favorite and related templates

It can be very difficult to find a template if you don't exactly remember its name.

To the template insertion wizard (which is currently empty upon opening) add a list with favorited and related templates. Once you use the searchbar, the searchresults will replace this list.

Templates could have an option to favorite them and these favorites would show up in a list in the initial dialog (a first version could maybe use your watchlist data for this, instead of a separate list). Ideally, it would also show you "Related templates", which are used on pages that share categories with your article. This is similar to how WikiData's recoin works.
