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
Category	cat	Specifies which category to label the template under. Default Documentation subpages	String	suggested

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.
