ފަންވަތް:High-use/doc

This is a documentation subpage for ފަންވަތް:High-use.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ފަންވަތް page.

This is the

{{high-use}} message box.

It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for the most high-use (high-risk) templates.

Note! It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.

Usage

The template can be used as is. But it can also take some parameters:

First parameter is the number of pages. See Special:MostLinkedTemplates to find out how many pages use your template. If your template is not listed on the first or second page there, then you probably should not use this message box.
Second parameter is the name of some other talk page if you want discussion to be made there instead. A better option might be to redirect the talkpage of your template to that other talkpage.

Here are some examples:

{{high-use| 300,000+ | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}

This template is used on 300,000+ pages, or roughly 2418% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes at Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates before implementing them.

{{high-use| | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}

This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes at Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates before implementing them.

When this template is placed on a template's /doc page it can be nice to put it within <includeonly> tags so it only gets visible on the template page. The full code for a /doc page top then can look like this:

{{Documentation subpage}}
<includeonly>{{high-use| 300,000+ }}</includeonly>
<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

Technical details

The /sandbox and /testcases links are the standard names for such subpages. If those pages are created then the green /doc box for the template will detect them and link to them in its heading. For instance see the top of this documentation.
