From Familypedia

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

Contents

The following documentation is transcluded from Template:Documentation/doc.

Description
This template is used to insert descriptions on template pages.
Syntax
Type <noinclude> {{documentation}} </noinclude> at the end of the template page.

General usage

On the Template page

Template code<includeonly>Any categories to be inserted into articles by the 
template</includeonly><noinclude> 
{{documentation}}</noinclude>

Note that, depending on the template, you may need to add a clear or complete a table/div just before {{documentation}} is inserted (within the noinclude tags).

The line break is highly recommended as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code and/or displacing other page elements (e.g. Wikia Spotlights may intrude on page content).

On the Template/doc page

(Optionally this template:) {{Documentation subpage}}
;Description
:This template is used to do something.
;Syntax
:Type <code>{{t|templatename}}</code> somewhere.
;Sample output
:<code><nowiki>{{templatename|foo}}</nowiki></code> gives...
:{{templatename|foo}}

<includeonly>Any categories for the template itself
</includeonly><noinclude> 
[[Category:Template documentation|{{PAGENAME}}]] </noinclude>

Use any or all of the above description/syntax/sample output sections, preferably in the same order. You may also want to add "see also" or further usage information sections.

Note that the above example also uses the Template:T and Template:T/piece templates.
