Template:Documentation

Template documentation follows
Note: the template above may sometimes be partially or fully invisible.
Visit Template:Documentation/doc to edit this documentation. (How does this work?) Description This template is used to insert descriptions on template pages. Syntax Add <noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude> at the end of the template page. Usage On the Template page This is the normal format when used: TEMPLATE CODE<includeonly>Any categories to be inserted into articles by the template</includeonly><noinclude> {{documentation}}</noinclude> If your template is not a completed div or table, you may need to close the tags just before {{documentation}} is inserted (within the noinclude tags). A line break right before {{documentation}} can also be useful as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code. On the Template/doc page 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. ==Samples== <code><nowiki>{{templatename|input}}</nowiki></code> results in... {{templatename|input}} <includeonly>Any categories for the template itself</includeonly><noinclude>[[Category:Template documentation|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude> Use any or all of the above description/syntax/sample output sections. You may also want to add "see also" or other sections. Note that the above example also uses the Template:T and Template:T/piece templates.
