Module:Documentation/doc

This module implements Documentation and LuaDocumentation. It is best to see those pages, as they are mainly used there. It also has methods so it can be used in regular modules. It provides automatic template notices based off of the template's state (ex: protection levels).

Main function/Constructor
The table this module returns is a class, meaning you can call it as a normal function (Be sure to name the variable you require it under uppercase, as it is considered a best practice in coding to name classes uppercase). This also means you can use it as a normal module.

Syntax

 * - The template/module name to transclude the documentation subpage from. The namespace prefix depends on the type of documentation specified.
 * - The type of documentation box to display. This can be either Module or Template. Templates do not have a testcases unit, and will display a hidden template notice. Modules will have no notice, but will have a testcases unit. Each link in the module is changed according to the type specified. This defaults to Module.
 * - Disables automatic template notices like Protected.
