Editing Template:Documentation (copy)/doc (section)

==Basic usage==
===On the Template page===
This is the normal format when used:

<pre>
TEMPLATE CODE
<includeonly>Any categories to be inserted into articles by the template</includeonly>
<noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>
</pre>

Some notes:
* If your template is not a completed div or table, you may need to close the tags just before <code><nowiki>{{Documentation}}</nowiki></code> is inserted (within the noinclude tags).
* A line break right before <code><nowiki>{{Documentation}}</nowiki></code> can also be useful as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code.
* If for some reason you need to transclude a different page other than the documentation page (e.g. when using a group of templates with same documentation), you can use the <code>|1=</code> parameter (see [[#Syntax|Syntax]]).
* If the template documentation is rather short, you can specify documentation inline with the text, by using the <code>|content=</code> parameter (see [[#Syntax|Syntax]] again).

===On the documentation page===
The documentation page is usually located on the /doc subpage for a template, but a different page can be specified with the first parameter of the template (see [[#Syntax|Syntax]]).

Normally, you will want to write something like the following on the documentation page:

<pre>
== Description ==
This template is used to do something.

== Syntax ==
Type <code>{{t|templatename|param1}}</code> somewhere.

=== Parameters ===
;<code>param1</code>
: This parameter is used to add something.

=== TemplateData ===
&lt;templatedata>{}</templatedata>

== Examples ==
<code>&lt;nowiki>{{templatename|input}}&lt;/nowiki></code> 

results in...

{{templatename|input}}

<includeonly>Any categories for the template itself</includeonly>
<noinclude>[[Category:Template documentation]]</noinclude>
</pre>

Use any or all of the above description/syntax/sample output sections. You may also want to add "see also" or other sections.
