Template Documentation:

Note: The template above might be broken without the parameters; this is normal.
Edit this template for the documentation (How does this work?)
Editors can experiment with this template's sandbox and testcases.

This is a version of Template:Documentation customized for Templates Wiki and so not designed to be copied to other wikis.

It acts identically to the usual Template:Documentation - and should be treated identically - except for a few particular cases.

• content = should the template have just a short blurb for documentation and not need a new page for it.
• installonly = for documentation templates
• If the template should transclude a documentation page other than its /doc subpage, use {{Documentation|documentation page}}.

  You may also use {{Documentation|content=documentation goes here}} to include documentation without a subpage at all.

• If the template should be interlanguage linked but at a different name, use {{Documentation|fr=French name|ja=Japanese name|tr=Turkish name|zh=Chinese name}}.

  You might instead create a redirect on the foreign-language wiki from the name used on this wiki to theirs.

• SPW
  • SPW=is not relevant - The template (such as this one) are not relevant to wikis other than Templates Wiki.
  • SPW=starter - The wikis after created on March 11, 2020 by default.
• dep1=dep2=dep3=dep4= to name up to four dependency templates (include Template: prefix, no need to name /doc pages).
