Template:Dochead/doc

This template automatically inserts the default documentation header:

---

Documentation transcluded from /doc

onto the main pages for certain items (mostly templates and modules), while also providing a link to the documentation subpage.

It also places items inside their respective categories, 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).

Usage

This template is invoked by placing {{dochead}} at the top of a module or template's /doc subpage.

On modules, unless header=none is passed, a header will appear. By default, this will attempt to point to the template with the same name:

Note: Do not invoke this module directly; use the corresponding template instead: Template:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}.

but this can be changed by passing temp= followed by the name of the template. Whether Template: is present in what is passed to temp doesn't matter, as long as a template with the specified name exists.
