You know that templates use format tt2 which is documented in tt2.org. 
What you need is a good documentation that list all vars for each 
action. Unfortunitly it is not documented in Sympa. It should be a hard 
job to do it because there is a lot vars and a lot of diffrent action in 
Sympa.

You can easily watch wwsympa.fcgi code and look at the structure $param 
which is the data structure used by Sympa when parsing tt2 templates. Of 
course it is not a good answer to a user to say "documentation is the 
code". What we can do is to introduce a new optionnal parameter to every 
action in wwsympa, with this parameter wwsympa could show all availible 
vars insteed of the real page of the action (limited to listmaster). 
This way a listmaster could list all variables and show there value in 
any page.

What to do you think about ?
