'''OR'''
{{tlx|documentation subpage|<nowiki>[[</nowiki><var>main page to link to</var><nowiki>]]</nowiki>}}


=== Userboxes ===
{{tlx|Documentation subpage}}
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:
or
  {{tl|userbox documentation subpage}}
  {{tlx|Documentation subpage|{{!((}}{{var|Page where the documentation [[Wikipedia:Transclusion|transcluded]]}}{{!))}}}}
'''OR'''
{{tlx|userbox documentation subpage|<nowiki>[[</nowiki><var>main userbox page to link to</var><nowiki>]]</nowiki>}}


=== Customization of text ===
===Userbox documentation===
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.
To set this template to use "userbox" and "userbox page" rather than "{{lc:{{ns:Template}}}}" and "{{lc:{{ns:Template}}}} page" or "{{lc:{{ns:User}}}} template" and "{{lc:{{ns:User}}}} template page", use:
{{tl|Userbox documentation subpage}}
or
{{tlx|Userbox documentation subpage|{{!((}}{{var|userbox page}}{{!))}}}}


Example usage:
===Text customization===
  {{tlx|documentation subpage|text1<nowiki>=</nowiki><var>custom first and second line text</var>}}
The parameters {{para|text1}} and/or {{para|text2}} can be used to set the text of, respectively, the template's first and second lines. If ''text1'' is set but not ''text2'', both lines' text will derive from ''text1'':
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=With ''text1'' and ''text2''}}
  <code><nowiki>{{Documentation subpage |text1=''custom text (text1) appears here'' |text2=''custom text (text2) appears here''}}</nowiki></code>
{{float|left|produces...}} {{Documentation subpage |text1=''custom text (text1) appears here''|text2=''custom text (text2) appears here''}}
{{Hidden end}}
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=With ''text2'' only}}
<code><nowiki>{{Documentation subpage |text2=''custom text (text2) appears here''}}</nowiki></code>
{{float|left|produces...}} {{Documentation subpage |text2=''custom text (text2) appears here''}}
{{Hidden end}}
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=With ''text1'' only}}
<code><nowiki>{{Documentation subpage |text1=''custom text (text1) appears here''}}</nowiki></code>
{{float|left|produces...}} {{Documentation subpage |text1=''custom text (text1) appears here''}}
{{Hidden end}}


{{tlx|documentation subpage|text2<nowiki>=</nowiki><var>custom second line text only</var>}}
== Display ==


{{tlx|documentation subpage|text1<nowiki>=</nowiki><var>custom first line text</var>|text2<nowiki>=</nowiki><var>custom second line text</var>}}
This template should normally 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&nbsp;– i.e. pages transcluding the /doc page&nbsp;– 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.


== How it is displayed ==
== Functions ==
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 its message, the template adds pages to [[:Category:Template documentation pages]], [[:Category:User documentation pages]], 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: Template:Foo, for example, would be sorted as "Foo", i.e. under "F".
In addition to the output message, the template categorizes pages to [[:Category:Template documentation pages]], [[:Category:User documentation pages]], 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').
