Template:Interface explanation
 | This interface message or skin is documented on its manual page. 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. |
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:
| This interface message or skin is documented on its manual page. 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. |
The template adds pages it is on into Category:MediaWiki messages with interface explanation.
