Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Documentation subpage/doc. (edit | history)

Usage

{{documentation subpage}}

OR

{{documentation subpage|[[main page to link to]]}}

Customization of text

To manually change the text of the template, the "text1=your text here" and/or "text2=your other text here" parameters can be specified. "text1=" changes the automatic text on the first line to your own word(s). "text2=" changes the automatic text on the second line to your own word(s). If "text1=" parameter is specified without the "text2=" parameter, both the first and second line of text will be custom based on the text given in the "text1=" parameter.

Example usage:

{{documentation subpage|text1=custom first and second line text}}

{{documentation subpage|text2=custom second line text only}}

{{documentation subpage|text1=custom first line text|text2=custom second line text}}

How it is displayed

This template should 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 (ie, 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 the output message, the template categorizes pages to Category:Template documentation, but only for documentation pages in namespaces with the subpage feature. It defaults the sort key to the page name without namespace (ie, "Foo" on "Template:Foo", so it would be sorted in categories under 'F').
