Description
This template is used to insert descriptions on template pages.
Syntax
Used to insert descriptions on template pages.
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Page | 1 | Link to documentation subpage
| Page name | optional |
Add <noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>
at the end of the template page.
Add <noinclude>{{Documentation|<documentation page>}}</noinclude>
to transclude an alternative page from the /doc subpage. In this case the /doc subpage must still exist (perhaps as a redirect).
Usage
On the template page
This is the normal format used:
TEMPLATE CODE <noinclude> {{Documentation}} </noinclude>
On the documentation page
The documentation page is usually located on the /doc subpage for a template, but a different page can be specified with the first parameter of the template (see Syntax).
Normally, you will want to write something like the following on the documentation page:
==Description== This template is used to do something. ==Syntax== Type <code>{{t|templatename}}</code> somewhere. ==Sample== <code><nowiki>{{templatename|input}}</nowiki></code> results in... {{templatename|input}} <noinclude>[[Category:Template documentation]]</noinclude> <includeonly>__NOEDITSECTION__ (Any categories for the template itself) </includeonly>
Note that the above example also uses the {{t}} template.
