Template:Documentation/doc

Early History

Syntax
Add  at the end of the template page.

On the Template page
This is the normal format when used:

TEMPLATE CODE Any categories to be inserted into articles by the template

If your template is not a completed div or table, you may need to close the tags just before  is inserted (within the noinclude tags).

A line break right before  can also be useful as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code.

On the Template/doc page
Normally, you will want to write something like the following on the documentation page:

Description
This template is used to do something.

Syntax
Type  somewhere.

Samples
results in...

Any categories for the template itself

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 and Template:T/piece templates.
