Manually edit the data list.

Do you have any suggestions for solving the problem? Please explain in detail.

The related data needs to be added to the CSSData JSON and the template should make use of it.
The output should look like the one from the 'cssbox' template.

Is there anything else we should know?

Adding it to 'CSSData' is of course nonsense. A new template 'DOMEvents' should be added for this purpose with a similar structure as 'CSSData'.

Yes, this is something we want to do.

Note that we also need to group them in a JSON DB: that way we can build sidebar automatically to link to related events.

We can also use these to improve API sidebars to list events that can be targeted at a given interface.

We're moving away from data macros (and generally from KumaScript) as much as possible.

If we want to expose certain type of data, it should be filed under mdn/data or other repos. Also, It might be worth discussing a plan on discourse first (with details on what data structure to expose), before filing implementation bugs. Closing here.
