Template:High-risk/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:High-risk It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the {{high-risk}} message box.
It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for the most high-use (high-risk) templates. That is for templates used on 1,000 pages or more.
For templates used on 2000 - 1,000 pages we instead recommend using {{high-use}} which has a softer wording.
Usage edit
The template can be used as is. But it can also take some parameters:
- First parameter is the number of pages. See tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/embeddedincount.py to find out how many pages use a given template.
- Second parameter is the name of some other talk page if you want discussion to be made there instead. But a better option might be to redirect the talkpage of your template to that other talkpage.
Here are some examples:
{{high-risk| 20,000+ | Wikibooks:Reading room/Technical Assistance }}
This template is used on 20,000+ 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 Wikibooks:Reading room/Technical Assistance before implementing them. |
