Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Template category/doc.

To discuss this template as a whole, please see JDOC:WTP. If you wish to discuss general wordings, rather than the wording or formatting of this specific template, don't post here, or else what you say will probably go unnoticed.

Use {{template category}} at the top of categories containing pages in the template namespace (for example, Category:Link templates).

Functions/Features

The upper part of this message box uses {{for}} to link to the Joomla! Templates category. The description and output of the usage notice can be replaced via parameters.

If the help parameter is not given, the template automatically explains to readers how to add a template to the category. Specify your own help instructions to override the default. You may also set additional description of the category that will appear beneath the box.

The optional parameter small (when any value specified) makes the messagebox small and right-floating. The default help messages will be reworded to fit into the narrow box.
