| File:Imbox content.png | This template is used on many pages. To avoid any disruptions and to save server load, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. As a courtesy to other users, please discuss any changes at the talk page before implementing them. |
[edit] File:50px-Template-info.svg.png Template documentation
This is the {{high-use}} message box.
It can be put at the top of the documentation for any high-use or high-risk template.
Note! It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.
Usage[edit source]
The template can be used as is. But it can also take some parameters:
- First parameter is the number of pages. See Special:MostLinkedTemplates 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. A better option might be to redirect the talkpage of your template to that other talkpage.
Here are some examples:
{{high-use| 300,000+ | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}

When this template is placed on a template's /doc page it can be nice to put it within <includeonly> tags so it only gets visible on the template page. The full code for a /doc page top then can look like this:
{{Documentation subpage}}
<includeonly>{{high-use| 300,000+ }}</includeonly>
<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->
Technical details[edit source]
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.
