Created page with "{{Documentation subpage}}{{Lua|Module:Format TemplateData}} Everything below this line is a demo of Format TemplateData: read the source code, and expand the raw TemplateData..."

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}{{Lua|Module:Format TemplateData}}
Everything below this line is a demo of Format TemplateData: read the source code, and expand the raw TemplateData section, to see how it all works.

== Using the template ==
Add the <code><templatedata></code> as usual, and then enclose it in a template call like <code><nowiki>{{Format TemplateData|1=<templatedata>...</templatedata>}}</nowiki></code>.

==Maintenance categories==
* {{clc|Templates with TemplateData errors}} – the template adds this category to template documentation pages with malformed TemplateData code.
