Editing Category talk:Template Documentation

This category is for pages that document how the various templates work. This documentation is necessary to help contributors work together efficiently.

Templates are a very powerful feature of MediaWiki, but can be confusing to new users and even experienced users can have difficulty making sense of the more complex ones. Templates should therefore be accompanied by documentation to improve usability. Template documentation should explain what a template does and how to use it. It should be simple enough that a user without complete knowledge of the intricacies of template syntax—which includes many experienced contributors who focus their attention elsewhere—can use it correctly. This is especially true in the case of very widely used templates.

The pages in [[:Category:Template documentation pages]] should be moved here. I believe I am responsible for the duplicate category; but either way they should be consolidated into one. [[User:Jerimee|Jerimee]] ([[User talk:Jerimee|talk]]) 21:11, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
