Template:Documentation
From Istaria Lexica
Description[edit]
This template is used to insert descriptions on template pages.
Syntax[edit]
Add <noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude> at the end of the template page.
Usage[edit]
On the Template page[edit]
This is the normal format when used:
YOUR 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[edit]
Normally, you will want to write something like the following on the documentation page:
==Description==
This template is used to do something.
==Syntax==
Type this somewhere.
<pre>{{t|templatename}}
Example[edit]
{{templatename|input}}
Results in...
{{templatename|input}}
<includeonly>Any categories for the template itself</includeonly><noinclude>[[Category:Template documentation]]</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.
