Template:Adapted from Wikipedia/doc

This subpage provides documentation for Template:Adapted from Wikipedia.

This message box should be used on template documentation subpages to indicate that the template was adapted from a Wikipedia template. The template will be added to Category:Wikipedia templates automatically.

Usage

{{Adapted from Wikipedia|{{subst:NAMESPACE}}:{{subst:ROOTPAGENAME}}}}

By default, it links to the template of the same name on Wikipedia, but an alternate template can be specified.

The code {{wikipedia template|Abbr}} yields: Template:Wikipedia template

If for some reason the template is on a sub-page—for example, Template:N/a—the override parameter must be used to specify the full name of the template.

To prevent the template from being added to the Wikipedia templates category, blank the override parameter.
