{{ {{ROOTPAGENAME}} }}
 
This template automatically categorizes documentation by namespace, which eliminates the need to do this manually. Currently, it is configured to place modules and their documentation inside their respective categories ([[:Category: Lua modules]] and [[:Category: Module documentation]]).
