Template:Documentation subpage

Used on /doc subpages to display that the current page is a documentation subpage of a template. If no parameter is passed, it defaults to the base name of the current page.

[Edit template data]

Template parameters

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Base page name	1	If set, overrides the automatically detected base template name (used when this template fails to detect the parent template). Example Template:MyTemplate	String	optional

Basic usage

In most cases, the following code is sufficient on its own:

<noinclude>
{{Documentation subpage}}
</noinclude>

However, a parameter may need to be specified if:

• The documentation is used on a page that is not a subpage. (e.g. test pages)
• The documentation is for a non-template page. (e.g. Module: pages)
• One or both pages use non-standard naming conventions. (e.g. {{Documentation subpage|Template:Artist/Album}})

<noinclude>
{{Documentation subpage|The page you want to point to}}
</noinclude>

Example

Below is a working example using a subpage at Template:Documentation subpage/doc:

This is the /doc subpage of Template:Documentation subpage. Any changes made here will reflect on the main template page.
