Template:Languages/doc

General
This template is to be placed in template documentation of user languages. It is intended primarily for userboxes (such as User en-ca-1), and it should be placed on mainspace articles. It is written as (example for English):

You write only English (not language: the template writes that by itself).

Language void
For most languages, saying "language" after it is necessary to direct it straight to the language's mainspace page, but sometimes saying "language" directs it to a red link. To stop this problem put:

User space
Most language userboxes are in the template namespace. For those in user space, add the yes parameter:

Different category
This template automatically puts the template in its User template category, to redirect to a different User templates category do this, using Scottish English as an example:

Category sections
By default the template categorizes templates like:

1 Template:User en-1

2 Template:User en-2

And so on, but if you wanted to replace these with different abbreviations such as:

c Template:User en-ca-1 Template:User en-ca-2

e Template:User en-1 Template:User en-2

Add |sections= with the abbreviated code, such as "ca" or "en", etc. Do place the "-", at the end of "sections" as was done previously, this will mess up the sorting.

Voiding the category
Some templates, such as the blank series and other fictional languages, do not need to have their own category. To void the category completely, use this wikitext markup text:

Format
If all of these functions were used on one template they would look like this:

Please note catalt, sections and # cannot exist if catvoid exists.
