Template:Documentation/doc: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:20, 8 April 2022

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Documentation.It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

The documentation template is transcluded in the template/module documentation. This template should only be used on subpages titled "doc".

Usage

Place {{Documentation}} at the top of the documentation page.

If the page to be documented is a subpage, use {{Documentation|<pagename of page to be documented>}} at the top of the documentation page. For example, Template:Foo/bar's documentation page would use {{Documentation|<Template:Foo/bar>}}.

The template will attempt to auto detect and link {{#Invoke:}} calls on template documentations or the require()/mw.loadData() depedency list on module documentations. If you want to supress the auto generated dependency list, use {{Documentation}}

Note

This template links to a /doc that may appear useless, however, it exists in order to link navboxes and userboxes to their base template's documentation.

-This template automatically displays a documentation box like you are seeing now, of which the content is transcluded from another page (usually PAGENAME/doc). It is intended for pages which are transcluded in other pages, i.e. templates, whether in the template namespace or not.
+{{Documentation}}
+The '''documentation''' template is transcluded in the template/module documentation. This template should only be used on subpages titled "doc".
-Use this template only if the template page you're using it on has a documentation at ''Template:TEMPLATENAME/doc''. If not, create this page before you proceed.
 == Usage ==
-<pre>
+Place {{T|Documentation}} at the top of the documentation page.
-<noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>
-</pre>
-This code should be added at the bottom of the template code, with no extra space before "<code>&lt;noinclude></code>" (which would cause extra space on pages where the template is used).
-The template usually transcludes content from PAGENAME/doc. If you want to transclude content from a different page, specify its pagetitle behind a <code>|</code>, like this:
-<pre>
+If the page to be documented is a subpage, use {{T|Documentation|pagename of page to be documented}} at the top of the documentation page. For example, Template:Foo/bar's documentation page would use {{T|Documentation|Template:Foo/bar}}.
-<noinclude>{{Documentation|Other page}}</noinclude>
-</pre>
-The template transcludes now the content from ''Other page''.
+The template will attempt to auto detect and link <code><nowiki>{{#Invoke:}}</nowiki></code> calls on template documentations or the <code>require()</code>/<code>mw.loadData()</code> depedency list on module documentations. If you want to supress the auto generated dependency list, use {{T|Documentation|DependencyList=no}}
-Categories and interwiki links that apply to the template itself should be added to the documentation page, inside <code>&lt;includeonly> &lt;/includeonly></code> tags.
+== Note ==
+This template links to a /doc that may appear useless, however, it exists in order to link navboxes and userboxes to their base template's documentation.
+<includeonly></includeonly>
-If you add a sandbox or testcases at ''Template:TEMPLATENAME/sandbox'' and ''Template:TEMPLATENAME/testcases'', links to these pages will be displayed automatically at the top of the documentation box
