Template:GNU-Layout

example

Note: This template is used on a lot of pages. In order not to put too much load on the servers, edits should be kept to a bare minimum. Please discuss proposed changes on the talk page first.

Editing a template causes all pages that use the template to be re-rendered. If the template is used often, this can put a lot of load on the servers since it fills up the job queue.
Keep in mind that templates that are used on file description pages also show up on other wikis.

Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Style formatting license template/doc.

Table style formatting template meant to provide uniform styles to different families of license templates. Those templates are also used for tracking images with different types of licenses so it is important not to use them for other purposes. Many of the templates add {{License template tag}} to children templates.

Usage

Meant to be used only inside of other license or information templates

Template parameters

Parameter text is empty

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
