Template:Don't edit this line link text - English Wikipedia @ Freddythechick

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The "Don't edit this line XXX" templates are a core part of the automated taxobox system, and so high use, but as of January 2019^[update], the tool did not count their transclusions, as they are only used from Lua.

This template may have no transclusions, because LUA tranclusions are not tracked by the tool.

__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__

This template is used on approximately 540,000 pages, or roughly 3% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

Templates in the "Don't edit this line XXX" family are used to extract information from a taxonomy template (i.e. a template whose name is of the form "Template:Taxonomy/taxon"). They are invoked by calling a taxonomy template with |machine code=XXX, since the first line of every taxonomy template begins <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Don't edit this line |...</syntaxhighlight> They are intended only for use by the automated taxobox system. They are mostly used from within Module:Autotaxobox.
