A small request edit
I am starting with my own wiki. I am completely new and have no clue how the tempates work. I would like to 'copy&paste' some of the great templates here, but I have no clue, which code I should copy and paste…could you please always add a box at the bottom with the text of the template itself? For instance, I would like to use the nutshell, but the only thing I see in the edit page are dozens of these { and these } - what am I supposed to use? Thanks! --Jorgusch (talk) 18:03, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
"Category:Template documentation" versus "Category:Template documentation pages" edit
What is the difference between this category, Category:Template documentation, and Category:Template documentation pages? Thanks!

- Good question, Spike, my friend! The category says at the top "This category contains template documentation subpages." - but that's misleading and almost a fib: one of its subcategories contains next to nothing, while a subcategory of the other one contains over 20,000 template documentation subpages, but the category itself contains very few subpages, with only a couple of them being standard "/doc" pages (which probably should be with the other 20,000 rather than here). There should be a more comprehensive description of what the category contains, or a significant restructuring. I think there's a risk of confusion as things are at present. Commons and Wikia have a simpler category structure in this area: most of their "/doc" pages are simply in the category with the same name as this, not in one that adds the uninformative word "pages" to its name.

Template documentation subpages edit
According to this category, Category:Template documentation, it, "contains template documentation subpages." However, according to Category:Template documentation pages, that category, "contains template documentation subpages." Either the template documentation of these two templates needs clarification or they should be merged. Hyacinth (talk) 02:02, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

New subcategory Category:Documentation templates edit
Hello @SpikeToronto, Robin Patterson, Hyacinth, and Andrybak: You were contributer of the both sections above regarding this topic. I was bold and created a new subcategory only for the templates Category:Documentation templates (similar to commons:Category:Documentation templates). Now the old Category:Template documentation can be used for template documentation pages and documentation templates. If you agree, now only the connected wikidata items need to be updated. PS.: See also next section. Best Regards --W like wiki good to know 00:44, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
How are these both related to each other? Should they be merged or is Category:Template documentation part of Category:Wikipedia template help. Best Regards --W like wiki good to know 00:52, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
