Template:Documentation/doc

This is the preferred method for including documentation for a template.

Usage

This should only be used on pages in the Template namespace. It should not be used in any articles.

Add the following to the end of a template to transclude documentation for it:

<noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>

After adding this, you can press the edit button at the top of the green box to edit the contents of the documentation.

Keeping the documentation separate from the template itself has a few benefits, like easier organization and putting less strain on the server when the documentation is edited.
