Where Can I Look Up Azure ARM Template Parameters?

I'm trying to deploy Azure ARM Templates, but I do not what to put in parameters boxes. Is there a place where I can look up what each parameter do, what is the correct syntax, what parameters accept what symbols and how long should the passwords, salts be? This is the template I'm trying to deploy https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/templates/wordpress-mysql-replication/

I have problems with most parameters. For example:

website sku - what do I put here?

website worker size - what do I put here?

webdeploy secure authentication key - how many symbols should it have? Will it accept special symbols, like % or ;

vmSize - what is the correct sytax? Just A2? or vm_size_a2? Or something else?

Convenient way to learn the ARM is to use Resource Explorer which can be bound to your subscription and you may see all of your resources in the needed form.

Here, if you go to the branch you want (in your case it is Web) you will find the documentation about parameters/etc - 

 your subscription name => resourceGroups branch => resourceGroup name => providers => Microsoft.Web => sites => any site => documentation.

The process of using the RE in more details is described here

Regarding your mentioned script, some of parameters looks as a custom names. Parameters are described here in some capacity in the script itself, and your exact parameters are:

website sku - basic/standard/premium. Plans are described here

website worker size - it is one of the components that typically used for scalability. Described here. They are actual for ASE, premium mode. I believe you should not need that if you are not going to use premium mode.

webdeploy secure authentication key - it is something Wordpress-related, sorry, not sure what it should be. Looks like it may be taken from the official site generator. And that article may be helpful (screenshots especially).

vmSize - Standard_D2 as described in the script.

There is a lack of documentation for that script, and some parameters are not ARM-relevant.
