Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Yearcategory/doc.

Provides category header on year categories (e.g. Category:1890). Note that the template does not work for years BCE, and is applicable only to years of the Gregorian calendar (possibly proleptic depending on places or traditions where this calendar was adopted).

The template automatically sets the following categories: Century category (e.g. Category:19th century by year), decade category (e.g. Category:1890s) and category for the starting or ending day of the week (also depending if the Gregorian year is leap or common)

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.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.
