Template documentation- Description

- Syntax

<noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>at the top of the template page.
General usage

</noinclude>Template code
<includeonly>Categories applied to pages using the template</includeonly>
The line break before <includeonly> is included here for formatting purposes, and should not appear in actual templates. Depending on the template, it may be beneficial to move the <includeonly> to immediately after </noinclude>, hiding the template from view.
On the Template/doc page
