 | This Lua module is used on a very large number of pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this module should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
This module displays a blue box containing documentation for templates, Lua modules, or other pages. The {{documentation}} template invokes it.
Normal usage
For most uses, you should use the {{documentation}} template; please see that template's page for its usage instructions and parameters.
Use in other modules
To use this module from another Lua module, first load it with require:
<source lang="lua"> local documentation = require('Module:Documentation').main </source>
Then you can simply call it using a table of arguments. <source lang="lua"> documentation{content = 'Some documentation', ['link box'] = 'My custom link box'} </source>
Please refer to the template documentation for usage instructions and a list of parameters.
Porting to other wikis
The module has a configuration file at Module:Documentation/config which is intended to allow easy translation and porting to other wikis. Please see the code comments in the config page for instructions. If you have any questions, or you need a feature which is not currently implemented, please leave a message at Template talk:Documentation to get the attention of a developer.
