Welcome.

First, so you should have a look at https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/docs/architecture/README.md to get a frist impression about Semantic MediaWiki.

As for this task and once you have familiarized yourself, have a look at:

• https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/src/Query/ResultPrinters/TemplateFileExportPrinter.php (this the class where we want to remove template arguments and add named args)
• https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/src/Query/ResultPrinters/CategoryResultPrinter.php shows how to use $this->params['named args']
• https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/tests/phpunit/Integration/JSONScript/TestCases/s-0025.json the integration test for format=templatefile

The task isn't just about changing some lines of PHP but to ensure that those changes are tested and actually return the expected results.
