Template:High-risk

Template documentation

This is the {{high-risk}} message box.

It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for the most high-use (high-risk) templates. That is for templates used on 1,000 pages or more.

For templates used on 2000 - 1,000 pages we instead recommend using {{high-use}} which has a softer wording.

Usage

The template can be used as is. But it can also take some parameters:

• First parameter is the number of pages. See tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/embeddedincount.py to find out how many pages use a given template.
• Second parameter is the name of some other talk page if you want discussion to be made there instead. But a better option might be to redirect the talkpage of your template to that other talkpage.

Here are some examples:

{{high-risk| 20,000+ | Wikibooks:Reading room/Technical Assistance }}

{{high-risk| 20,000+ }}

{{high-risk| | Wikibooks:Reading room/Technical Assistance }}

The full code for a /doc page top can look like this:

{{documentation subpage}}
{{high-risk| 20,000+ }}
<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->
