Documentation

Note
This page is a template. It contains some standardized, often used text, which can be transcluded inside other pages. As this template is widely used in our wiki, it may be protected in which case only staff members can change it. Use the discussion page to propose enhancements or fixes, or to voice your opinion.

This template is to be used in talk pages to propose "patches" to protected pages. Use it to put forward new content or adjustments to existing content, then other editors can edit the code inside this template until the proposed modifications are ready to apply to the protected page.

A log of changes can be kept by adding new parameters. These entries can be signed.

Warning
Templates written across multiple lines cannot be indented with a colon (":") or used in lists (lines beginning with "*" or "#"). This results in rendering issues. When replying on a talk page, use this template in one of the following ways:
  • Written on one line
  • Written across multiple lines but not indented
  • Written across multiple lines but indented with {{D}}
