Editing Documentation/doc (section)

==Usage==
Normally, this template is used without any parameters, and is placed at the bottom of the template page or other page being documented, within a <code>noinclude</code> container:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml+smarty">
<!--Last line of your template code--><noinclude>
{{Documentation}}
<!-- Add categories to the /doc subpage and interwikis in Wikidata, not here! -->
</noinclude>
</syntaxhighlight>

Then, this template automatically loads the content from the /doc subpage of the template it is used on.

This template can also load the content from any other page. For example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml+smarty">
<!--Last line of your template code--><noinclude>
{{Documentation |Template:Other page/doc}}
</noinclude>
</syntaxhighlight>

Note that when loading the documentation from a page other than the local /doc subpage, it becomes tricky to handle the categories.

The content can also be fed directly as text. For example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<!--Last line of your template code--><noinclude>
{{Documentation
 | content =
<!-- template documentation -->
}}</noinclude>
</syntaxhighlight>

When the {{para|content}} parameter is used, the doc box normally does not show the [edit] [purge] links in the top right corner. Note that if the /doc page exists, a link to it is still shown in the link box below the doc box.

Parameter {{para|1}} and the {{para|content}} parameter can also be combined, for example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<!--Last line of your template code--><noinclude>
{{Documentation |1=Template:Any page/doc
| content =
<!-- {{Template:Any page/doc |parameters}} -->
}}</noinclude>
</syntaxhighlight>

Then, the pagename fed as parameter 1 is used for the [edit] [purge] links and for the /doc link in the link box below the doc box. But, the '''content''' parameter is used for the content shown in the doc box. The above code means that the content is transcluded as {{tnull|Template:Any page/doc{{!}}parameters}}. In this example, a parameter is also fed to the /doc page being loaded.
