Hey, can you explain me what do you mean by extracting paramter based on a value method Im finding it difficult understanding. If you could explain me, I think I can solve this up for a good first issue.

I think that what we mean is not yet well defined, other than to provide something similar to what some other tools provide. The link in a previous comment points to one such tool, but I suspect that there are others and we should start by surveying what's available elsewhere, then deciding what we want to provide. The design will need to take into account the fact that we're currently quite limited in what a refactoring can request in the way of user input.

However, I disagree with the "good first issue" label. Refactorings (that require user input) are typically harder than fixes or assists (refactorings that don't require user input), so I would encourage you to try learning about this aspect of the analysis server with a simpler fix or assist.
