Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)
- Description
- This template is used to insert descriptions on template pages.
- Syntax
- Type
<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 that, depending on the template, you may need to add a clear or complete a table/div just before {{documentation}} is inserted (within the noinclude tags).
The line break is also useful as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code.
On the Template/doc page
;Description
:This template is used to do something.
;Syntax
:Type <code>{{t|templatename}}</code> somewhere.
;Sample output
:<code><nowiki>{{templatename|foo}}</nowiki></code> gives...
:{{templatename|foo}}
<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 further usage information sections.
Note that the above example also uses the Template:T and Template:T/piece templates.
