Template:Documentation subpage/doc
Template:MboxTemplate:High-use
Usage
{{Documentation subpage}}- or
{{Documentation subpage|[[Template:Var]]}}
Userbox documentation
To set this template to use 'userbox' and 'userbox page', rather than 'template' and 'template page' or 'user template' and 'user template page', use:
Text customisation
The parameters Template:Para and/or Template:Para can be used to set the text of, respectively, the template's first and second lines. If 'text1' is set but not 'text2', both lines' text will derive from 'text1':
Template:Hidden begin
{{Documentation subpage|text1='''''text1 appears here''''' |text2='''''text2 appears here'''''}}
Template:MboxTemplate:Hidden end
Template:Hidden begin
{{Documentation subpage|text2='''''text2 appears here'''''}}
Template:MboxTemplate:Hidden end
Template:Hidden begin
{{Documentation subpage|text1='''''text1 appears here'''''}}
Template:MboxTemplate:Hidden end
Other parameters
Template:Para will prevent this template from generating any categories. (By default, "Namespace documentation pages" (usually Category:Template documentation pages) is added, or Category:Documentation subpages without corresponding pages if the main page doesn't exist.)
Display
This template should normally be placed at the top of /doc pages. It changes output depending on where it is viewed:
- On a /doc page, it displays a box explaining template documentation and links to the template page
- On other pages – i.e. pages transcluding the /doc page – the template will not show; the template page itself (which contains
{{Documentation}}) will automatically note that the documentation is transcluded from a subpage.
Functions
In addition to its message, the template adds pages to Category:Template documentation pages, or similar (named after the subject space), but only for documentation pages in namespaces with the subpage feature. It defaults the sort key to the page name without namespace: Template:Foo, for example, would be sorted as 'Foo', i.e. under 'F'.
