Documentation
Purpose
{{Doctl}} — inserts boilerplate for consistent documentation of a template on its own Talk page. Once inserted, it must be edited to include specific information.
It will substitute the name of the template in the boilerplate, and the creators signature and timestamp will be inserted as Created.
Usage
{{subst:doctl}}
- Save the Talk page. Do not use preview. You must save in order to make the wikitext with the substitutions available for editing.
- Re-edit the Talk page. In the section Purpose, give a clear statement of the purpose of the template you are documenting. Use it in a sentence. In the section Usage, adjust the number of parameters and explain what each one does. If your template takes no parameters, delete that word. Note that the Usage section makes use of HTML entities; be careful editing between them. Finally, in the section History, add an appropriate entry -- if this is a new template, insert the line "Created ~~~~"; if you are documenting an existing template, insert the line "Documentation added ~~~~".
