टेम्पलेट:High-use/doc

This is the {{high-use}} message box.

It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for templates used on 2000 - 100,000 pages.

For templates used on 100,000 pages or more we instead recommend using {{high-risk}} which has a stronger wording.

Note! It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.

Usage

The template can be used as is. But it can also take some parameters:

• First parameter is the number of pages. See toollabs:templatecount/ to find out how many pages use your 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-use| 40,000+ | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}

{{high-use| 40,000+ }}

{{high-use| | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}

The full code for a /doc page top can look like this:

{{documentation subpage}}
{{high-use| 40,000+ }}
<!-- Please place categories where indicated at the bottom of this page and interwikis at Wikidata (see [[Wikipedia:Wikidata]]) -->

Technical details

The /sandbox and /testcases links are the standard names for such subpages. If those pages are created then the green /doc box for the template will detect them and link to them in its heading. For instance see the top of this documentation.

Template counters

• toollabs:templatecount/ – Easy to use, returns current (real time) transclusion count for a template.
• Wikipedia:Database reports/Templates transcluded on the most pages – Lists the 1000 most transcluded templates. Updated about once a month.
• Special:MostLinkedTemplates – Currently disabled for the English Wikipedia, but still runs for other Wikipedias so might be turned on again some day.
• tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/embeddedincount.py – Seems to lack human interface, probably meant for programs to call.
