__NOTOC__
==Usage==
{{tl|documentation subpage}}
'''OR'''
{{tlx|documentation subpage|<nowiki>[[</nowiki><var>main page to link to</var><nowiki>]]</nowiki>}}
 
===Userboxes===
When used to document usage of a [[Wikipedia:Userboxes|userbox]], it may be preferred to have this template state "userbox"/"userbox page" instead of "{{lc:{{ns:Template}}}}"/"{{lc:{{ns:Template}}}} page" or "{{lc:{{ns:User}}}} template"/"{{lc:{{ns:User}}}} template page". If this is preferred, use:
{{tl|userbox documentation subpage}}
'''OR'''
{{tlx|userbox documentation subpage|<nowiki>[[</nowiki><var>main userbox page to link to</var><nowiki>]]</nowiki>}}
 
===Customization of text===
To manually change the text of the template, the "<code>text1=<var>your text here</var></code>" and/or "<code>text2=<var>your other text here</var></code>" parameters can be specified. "<code>text1=</code>" changes the automatic text on the first line to your own word(s). "<code>text2=</code>" changes the automatic text on the second line to your own word(s). If "<code>text1=</code>" parameter is specified without the "<code>text2=</code>" parameter, both the first and second line of text will be custom based on the text given in the "<code>text1=</code>" parameter.
 
Example usage:
{{tlx|documentation subpage|text1<nowiki>=</nowiki><var>custom first and second line text</var>}}
 
{{tlx|documentation subpage|text2<nowiki>=</nowiki><var>custom second line text only</var>}}
 
{{tlx|documentation subpage|text1<nowiki>=</nowiki><var>custom first line text</var>|text2<nowiki>=</nowiki><var>custom second line text</var>}}
 
==How it is displayed==
This template should be placed at the top of "/doc" pages. It changes output depending on where it is viewed:
* On a "/doc" page, it displays a box explaining template documentation and links to the template page.
* On other pages (ie, pages transcluding the "/doc" page), the template will not show. The template page itself (which contains <code>{{tl|Documentation}}</code>) will automatically note that the documentation is [[Wikipedia:Transclusion|transcluded]] from a subpage.
 
==Functions==
In addition to the output message, the template categorizes pages to [[:Category:Template documentation]], [[:Category:User documentation]], or similar (named after the subject space), but only for documentation pages in namespaces with the subpage feature. It defaults the [[m:Help:Categories#Sort order|sort key]] to the page name without namespace (ie, "Foo" on "Template:Foo", so it would be sorted in categories under 'F').
