==Description==
Template for use on [[:Category:Templates|template pages]] to separate documentation from the actual template. Includes a /doc subpage.
This template is used to insert descriptions on template pages.
 
==Syntax==
Add <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>{{t|Documentation}}<nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code> at the end of the template page.
 
Add <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>{{t|Documentation|documentation page}}<nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code> to transclude an alternative page from the /doc subpage.


==Usage==
==Usage==
Simply place the following where you want the documentation to appear:
<pre>{{documentation}}</pre>


You need to make sure that the documentation is not transcluded along with the template wherever the template is used (usually by enclosing the above in {{tag|noinclude}} or {{tag|onlyinclude}} tags).
===On the Template page===
This is the normal format when used:
 
<pre>
TEMPLATE CODE
<includeonly>Any categories to be inserted into articles by the template</includeonly>
<noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>
</pre>
 
''If your template is not a completed div or table, you may need to close the tags just before <code><nowiki>{{Documentation}}</nowiki></code> is inserted (within the noinclude tags).''
 
''A line break right before <code><nowiki>{{Documentation}}</nowiki></code> can also be useful as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code.''
 
===On the documentation page===
The documentation page is usually located on the /doc subpage for a template, but a different page can be specified with the first parameter of the template (see [[#Syntax|Syntax]]).
 
Normally, you will want to write something like the following on the documentation page:
 
<pre>
==Description==
This template is used to do something.
 
==Syntax==
Type <code>{{t|templatename}}</code> somewhere.
 
==Samples==
<code>&lt;nowiki>{{templatename|input}}&lt;/nowiki></code>
 
results in...
 
{{templatename|input}}
 
<includeonly>Any categories for the template itself</includeonly>
<noinclude>[[Category:Template documentation]]</noinclude>
</pre>
 
Use any or all of the above description/syntax/sample output sections. You may also want to add "see also" or other sections.


===Parameters===
Note that the above example also uses the [[Template:T]] template.
{{Docparam|name=&lt;unnamed 1>|req=no|default=<nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAME}}/doc</nowiki>|desc=
Name of the documentation page to be displayed.
}}

Description

This template is used to insert descriptions on template pages.

Syntax

Add <noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude> at the end of the template page.

Add <noinclude>{{Documentation|<documentation page>}}</noinclude> to transclude an alternative page from the /doc subpage.

Usage

On the Template page

This is the normal format when used:

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 documentation page

The documentation page is usually located on the /doc subpage for a template, but a different page can be specified with the first parameter of the template (see Syntax).

Normally, you will want to write something like the following on the documentation page:

==Description==
This template is used to do something.

==Syntax==
Type <code>{{t|templatename}}</code> somewhere.

==Samples==
<code><nowiki>{{templatename|input}}</nowiki></code> 

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 template.
