Template:End

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Warning This template is used on approximately 133,000 pages .
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

This template ends any table (with bar-brace "|}") and may be used with any other templates that begin a one-level table and require no further closing markup.

Note: Using the standard table end wikitext |} will work correctly, but may be seen as an error by some maintenance utilities.

This template duplicates {{s-end }} for technical reasons. See the documentation on that page. Any succession template ending with {{end }} should be changed to {{s-end }}.

Position

WARNING: Template {{end }} must be placed on a separate line for ending a table; otherwise, it inserts a literal bar-brace "|}" into the text.

Redirects

Other "table end" templates redirect to this one in order to avoid having redundant templates. Where possible, use the end template that matches the start template. For example, tables opened with {{Election box}} and similar templates should be closed with the redirect {{Election box end}} so that the wikitext is easy for editors to understand.

If no specific end template exists, then a hidden comment can be added, such as {{End}} , to indicate which table-opening template it matches.

Example

{{election table|title=Summary of the May 2, 2011 election}}
