Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)[view] [edit] [history] [refresh]

Description

Template:Documentation is used to insert descriptions on template pages.

Syntax

<noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>

at the end of the template page.

General usage

On the Template page

Template code<includeonly>Any categories to be inserted into articles by the template</includeonly><noinclude>
{{documentation}}</noinclude>

 Note: Depending on the template, you may need to insert the {{clr}} template (or complete a table/div) just before inserting <noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>.

The line break is also useful as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code.

On the Template/doc page

<noinclude>{{documentation subpage}}</noinclude>
