Template Documentation

  • Templates are documented either in the template itself (when the template is short and simple), or in a "/doc" sub-page. The "/doc" sub-page link will be found at the bottom of the template, and will be the template's name with "/doc" appended to it (without quotes). Example: Template:Cat_State's documentation is located at: Template:Cat_State/doc
  • For recommendations about how to document a template, please navigate to: Templates-List: Documentation.

For Testing Purposes Only

  • The Template(s) listed below:
    • are for testing purposes only.
    • should never be used as finished, production-level, templates.
    • can be changed at anytime as other developers perform testing procedures.
  • If you are doing advanced-level or complex testing, please consider creating test-articles and test-templates in your "User:..." area and then create templates in the "Template" namespace only after you have completed testing in your "User..." area. This minimizes clutter and reduces the administrator's clean-up duties in the "Template" namespace. Thank you.
Template Name Template Purpose

Please blank the template when you are done testing.
