Doc creation

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

== Usage ==
{{important|Please use '''<nowiki>{{SHORTDESC:description}}</nowiki> '''rather than {{tlf|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|description}}, with a colon (":"), not a pipe symbol ("|"). This uses the [[mw:Help:Magic words|magic word]] directly instead of using the template to call the magic word.}}

{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} is not actually a template, but instead is a [[Help:Magic words|magic word]], meaning it is a feature of the MediaWiki software. When used, it sets the page's [[BattleTechWiki:Short description|short description]].

The purpose of the template is to ensure that if someone uses this magic word with a piped parameter, the template code will be invoked and it will not cause an error on the page. Parameter 1 will be used as the : parameter and other parameters will be discarded. This way, if someone mistakenly enters {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|American actor}}, the template will change it to the correct <code><nowiki>{{SHORTDESC:American actor}}</nowiki></code>.

When a user mistakenly includes a pipe in a {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} call, the template code will add the page to the hidden category [[:Category:Pages which use a template in place of a magic word]]. Pages in this category should be fixed by willing editors.

== Tracking category ==
* {{clc|Pages which use a template in place of a magic word}}

<includeonly>{{sandbox other||

[[Category:Magic word templates]]
