Template:Documentation/doc

This template uses Module:Documentation, a script written in Lua.

This template produces a standardized documentation page for templates. These documentation page should detail the intent of the template, how to use it, any parameters the template takes (including acceptable arguments and optionality), and where necessary provide examples on what the template looks like in action. This template also allows proper categorization of template pages.

Usage

At the end of the template page in question, add

<noinclude>{{doc}}</noinclude>

This prevents the documentation from being transcluded every time the template is called.

Examples

Below is a copy-paste ready template for blank Documentation pages.
