Template:Improve documentation/doc

This template is used on template/module documentation pages whose content is missing, insufficient, incomplete and/or inaccurate.

Usage

If the template already has a documentation subpage, place this template in that subpage before the first heading. Example:

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{Improve documentation|date=July 2026}}
==Usage==

If the template does not have a documentation subpage, place this template at the end of the main template code, wrapped in <noinclude>...</noinclude> tags. Example:

... main template code ...
}}<noinclude>
{{No documentation|date=July 2026}}
</noinclude>

The template adds pages to Category:Templates with missing or incorrect documentation.
