Template:End/doc

Usage

This template ends any table (with bar-brace "|}") and may be used with any other templates that begin a one-level table and require no further closing markup.

Note: Using the standard table end wikitext |} will work correctly, but may be seen as an error by some maintenance utilities.

This template duplicates {{s-end}} for technical reasons. See the documentation on that page. Any succession template ending with {{end}} should be changed to {{s-end}}.

Position

WARNING: Template {{end}} must be placed on a separate line for ending a table; otherwise, it inserts a literal bar-brace "|}" into the text.

Redirects

Other "table end" templates redirect to this one in order to avoid having redundant templates. Where possible, use the end template that matches the start template. For example, tables opened with {{Election box}} and similar templates should be closed with the redirect {{Election box end}} so that the wikitext is easy for editors to understand.

If no specific end template exists, then a hidden comment can be added, such as {{End}} <!-- Election box -->, to indicate which table-opening template it matches.

Example

{{election table|title=Summary of the May 2, 2011 election}}
|- style="text-align:right;"
! style="background-color:#E9E9E9; width:400; text-align:left;" colspan="2" | Party
