Template:High-use/doc

This is the {{high-use}} message box.

It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for the most high-use (high-risk) templates.

Note! It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.

Usage

The template can be used as is. But it can also take some parameters:

• First parameter is the number of pages. See Special:MostLinkedTemplates to find out how many pages use your template.
• Second parameter is the name of some other talk page if you want discussion to be made there instead. A better option might be to redirect the talkpage of your template to that other talkpage.

Here are some examples:

{{high-use| 300,000+ | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}

{{high-use| 300,000+ }}

{{high-use| | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}

When this template is placed on a template's /doc page it can be nice to put it within <includeonly> tags so it only gets visible on the template page. The full code for a /doc page top then can look like this:

{{Documentation subpage}}
<includeonly>{{high-use| 300,000+ }}</includeonly>
<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

Technical details

The /sandbox and /testcases links are the standard names for such subpages. If those pages are created then the green /doc box for the template will detect them and link to them in its heading. For instance see the top of this documentation.
