{{Documentation subpage}}
This template displays a message that the current page is a documentation subpage.

== Usage ==
: {{Template link expanded|Documentation subpage}}
: or
: {{Template link expanded|Documentation subpage |[[Page where the documentation [[mw:Help:Transclusion|transcluded]]]]}}

===Text customization===
The parameters |text1= and |text2= can be used to set the text of, respectively, the template's first and second lines. If ''text1'' is set but not ''text2'', both lines' text will derive from ''text1'':
With ''text1'' and ''text2'':
<code><nowiki>{{Documentation subpage |text1='''''text1 appears here''''' |text2='''''text2 appears here'''''}}</nowiki></code>
{{Documentation subpage |[''page''] |text1='''''text1 appears here''''' |text2='''''text2 appears here''''' |override={{lc:{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}}}
With ''text2'' only:
<code><nowiki>{{Documentation subpage |text2='''''text2 appears here'''''}}</nowiki></code>
{{Documentation subpage |[''page''] |text2='''''text2 appears here''''' |override={{lc:{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}}}
With ''text1'' only:
<code><nowiki>{{Documentation subpage |text1='''''text1 appears here'''''}}</nowiki></code>
{{Documentation subpage |[''page''] |text1='''''text1 appears here''''' |override={{lc:{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}}}

===Other parameters===
|inhibit=yes will prevent this template from generating any categories. (By default, "''Namespace'' documentation pages" (usually [[:Category:Template documentation pages]]) is added, or [[:Category:Documentation subpages without corresponding pages]] if the main page doesn't exist.)

== Display ==
This template should normally be placed at the top of /doc pages. It changes output depending on where it is viewed:
* On a /doc page, it displays a box explaining template documentation and links to the template page.
* On other pages – i.e. pages transcluding the /doc page – the template will not show. The template page itself (which contains <code>{{Template link|Documentation}}</code>) will automatically note that the documentation is [[mw:Help:Transclusion|transcluded]] from a subpage.

== Functions ==
In addition to its message, the template adds pages to [[:Category:Template documentation pages]], [[:Category:User documentation pages]], or similar (named after the subject space), but only for documentation pages in namespaces with the subpage feature. It defaults the [[m:Help:Categories#Sort order|sort key]] to the page name without namespace: Template:Foo, for example, would be sorted as "Foo", i.e. under "F".
