+This template automatically displays a documentation box like the one you are seeing now, of which the content is sometimes transcluded from another page.
+It is intended for pages which are [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Transclusion|transcluded]] in other pages, i.e. templates, whether in the template namespace or not.
+==Usage==
+===Customising display===
+Overrides exist to customise the output in special cases:
+* <nowiki>{{</nowiki>documentation{{!}}'''heading'''=<nowiki>}}</nowiki> - change the text of the "documentation" heading. If this is set to blank, the entire heading line (including the first [edit] link) will also disappear.
+==Rationale==
+This template allows any page to use any documentation page, and makes it possible to protect templates while allowing anyone to edit the template's documentation and categories.
+It also reduces server resources by circumventing a [[w:Wikipedia:Template limits|technical limitation of templates]] (see a [[:en:Special:Diff/69888944|developer's explanation]]).
