Thread: Bulbapedia standard documentation template

Wikipedia has a green "documentation" box that is used with all of their templates. It's so that users of the templates can

• see where, when and why the template is used,
• look at the list of parameters for using the template to its fullest potential,
• get visual examples of how possible inputs reflect the template, and
• be relieved of bugging the user who made the template or asking on the talk page about how to use it!

I was thinking that it would be nice for Bulbapedia (maybe extending to the Archives and News as well) to have a similar documentation box that would grab everything from a centralized subpage—/doc—of a template and put it all at the bottom of the page in a universally-recognizable format so the four benefits above (plus others) can be extended to Bulbagarden.

If you don't get where the documentation would be placed, here's two examples:

• The documentation for Template:Route infobox would be located at Template:Route infobox/doc.
• The documentation for Template:User Champion would be located at Template:User Champion/doc.

Regardless of the template, you would add /doc at the end to find the documentation subpage.

I'm all ears and would love to get this going.

UP.

This is not a forum thing. however, I passed this on to the Bulbapedia staff and they are currently discussing this idea.
