Module:Dochead is ready for use. This message indicates that a module is ready for use, or has recently been repaired. This message may be removed once this module has been used on several pages or once it is verified to work as intended.

Details: Functionally complete. Edge-case observations still ongoing. Links can now be viewed on /doc pages.

-- Produces a hatnote that is placed on the top of a documentation page (either
-- template or module documentation) and can autodetect and categorize:
-- - FOR MODULES:
--   - whether a module has an accompanying template (overridable)
--   - whether a module is meant as a library for other modules
-- - FOR TEMPLATES:
--   - whether a template has an accompanying module (overridable)
--   - what functions from which modules are invoked

-- Options for specific types of templates and modules include:
-- - (TEMPLATES) whether it's a metatemplate
-- - (MODULES) whether it's a metamodule (used the same way as a metatemplate,
--   but direct use of module code is allowed)

-- Detect whether a page exists, where pagename is "Namespace:Title"
