Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Edit/doc.

This template gives a link in a uniform style to change a specific page, mostly used for changing language links.

Usage

{{edit|the page to edit}}

Template parameters

Parameter	Description		Default	Status
`1`	Pagename	complete pagename with namespace	{{FULLPAGENAME}}	optional
`preload`	Preload	source code, which is preloaded by default	empty	optional
`editintro`	Editintro	text that appears before the edit box	empty	optional

Template data

Parameter text is empty

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. <nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw <templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.
