This is the {{tl|documentation}} template.

For most of the instructions about how and when to use this template, see [[Wikipedia:Template documentation]].

This template displays a green doc box like you are seeing now, and automatically loads the content from a /doc subpage. It can also load the content from other places if instructed to.

This template is intended for documenting templates and other pages which are [[Wikipedia:Transclusion|transcluded]] onto other pages. It can be used in template space and most other [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespaces]].

Use of this template allows templates to be [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|protected]] where necessary, while allowing anyone to edit the documentation, categories, and interwiki links.

=== Usage ===

Normally this template is used without any parameters, placed at the bottom of the template or page being documented, within <code><noinclude></code>:

<pre>
<noinclude>

{{documentation}}
</noinclude>
</pre>

Then this template automatically loads the content from the /doc subpage of the template it is used on.
