This is the normal format when used:


<pre>
<pre>
TEMPLATE CODE<includeonly>Any categories to be inserted into articles by the template</includeonly><noinclude>
TEMPLATE CODE<noinclude>
{{documentation}}</noinclude>
List of categories for the template
</pre>
{{Documentation}}</noinclude>
 
''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.''
 
===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}}</code> somewhere.
 
==Samples==
<code>&lt;nowiki>{{templatename|input}}&lt;/nowiki></code>
 
results in...
 
{{templatename|input}}
 
<includeonly>Any categories for the template itself</includeonly><noinclude>[[Category:Template documentation|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>
</pre>
</pre>


Use any or all of the above description/syntax/sample output sections. You may also want to add "see also" or other sections.
<noinclude>[[Category:Template Documentation]]</noinclude>
 
Note that the above example also uses the [[Template:T]] and [[Template:T/piece]] templates.
 
<includeonly>[[Category:Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]</includeonly><noinclude>[[Category:Template documentation|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>
