| This interface message or skin may be documented on MediaWiki.org or on TranslateWiki. The page forms part of the MediaWiki interface, and can only be edited by administrators. To request a change to the page, add {{editprotected}} to this page, followed by a description of your request. Consider announcing discussions you add here at Wikipedia:MediaWiki messages to bring more people to the discussion. |
Usage
This template should be placed on MediaWiki talk pages and a corresponding documentation page for the MediaWiki page itself should be created in the MediaWiki interface manual; system messages are best documented on MediaWiki's corresponding qqq pages, e.g. MediaWiki:Readonly lag/qqq, which can be updated for all MediaWiki installations on translatewiki.net (FAQ; technical information).
Despite the wording of the message when viewed here, this page is not part of the interface and is not protected.
Alternately, a brief explanation of the MediaWiki page's function can be provided directly in the template, which changes the wording of the manual page notice: {{Interface explanation|Brief explanation}} resulting in:
| Brief explanation This interface message or skin may also be documented on MediaWiki.org or on TranslateWiki. The page forms part of the MediaWiki interface, and can only be edited by administrators. To request a change to the page, add {{editprotected}} to this page, followed by a description of your request. Consider announcing discussions you add here at Wikipedia:MediaWiki messages to bring more people to the discussion. |
The template adds pages it is on into Category:MediaWiki messages with interface explanation.
