Template:Documentation
|
This template automatically displays a documentation box like you are seeing now, of which the content is transcluded from another page. It is intended for pages which are transcluded in other pages, i.e. templates, whether in the template namespace or not.
Usage
Normal
<noinclude>{{documentation}}<noinclude>
or <noinclude>{{documentation|template:any page/doc}}<noinclude>
This code should be added at the bottom of the template code, with no extra space before "<noinclude>" (which would cause extra space on pages where the template is used). The parameter can be used as shown above to transclude an arbitrary documentation page.
Add categories and interwiki links to the documentation page inside includeonly tags.
If the documentation page contains includeonly or noinclude tags as part of the documentation, replace the "<" with "<".
Customizing display
Overrides exist to customize the output in special cases:
- {{documentation|heading=}}: change the text of the "documentation" heading. If this is set to blank, the entire heading line (including the first [edit] link) will also disappear.
Functions
If the documentation page doesn't exist, the "edit" link includes a preload parameter so that clicking it will pre-fill the edit form with the basic documentation page format.
Rationale
This template allows any page to use any documentation page, and makes it possible to protect templates while allowing anyone to edit the template's documentation, categories, and interwiki links. It also reduces server resources by circumventing a technical limitation of templates (see a developer's explanation).

This page is UNDER CONSTRUCTION… a stub, actively undergoing expansion by the incorporation of new material here on the TrainzOnline Wiki. If you are knowledgeable about the topic you can help, but not just now—another TrainzOnline editor has placed this tag to warn off other users from adding to the content on this page. In short, it is undergoing active expansion and editing by {{{1}}}. Check back later and if the page hasn't undergone any saved changes for a while, just use the edit tab above and clear this tag after leaving a message on the particular user's talk page (i.e. who hung the tag).
