Patrom:Documentation/doc

{{template documentation}}

This template automatically displays a documentation box with content transcluded from another page. It is intended for pages which are transcluded in other pages (ie templates), whether or not they are in the template namespace.

Usage

Normal

<noinclude>{{documentation}}<noinclude>
or <noinclude>{{documentation|template:any page/doc}}<noinclude>

This code should be added at the bottom of the template code, with no extra space before "<noinclude>" (which would cause extra space on pages where the template is used). The parameter can be used as shown above to transclude an arbitrary documentation page.

Add categories and interwiki links to the documentation page inside includeonly tags.

If the documentation page contains includeonly or noinclude tags as part of the documentation, replace the "<" with "&lt;".

Functions

If the documentation page doesn't exist, the "edit" link includes a preload parameter so that clicking it will pre-fill the edit form with the basic documentation page format.

Rationale

This template allows any page to use any documentation page, and makes it possible to protect templates while allowing anyone to edit the template's documentation, categories, and interwiki links.
