This module displays a blue box containing documentation for [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:templates|templates]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Lua scripting|Lua modules]], or other pages. The {{tl|documentation}} template invokes it.

== Normal usage ==

For most uses, you should use the {{tl|documentation}} template; please see that template's page for its usage instructions and parameters.

== Use in other modules ==

To use this module from another Lua module, first load it with <code>require</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
local documentation = require('Module:Documentation').main
</syntaxhighlight>

Then you can simply call it using a table of arguments.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
documentation{content = 'Some documentation', ['link box'] = 'My custom link box'}
</syntaxhighlight>

Please refer to the [[Template:Documentation/doc|template documentation]] for usage instructions and a list of parameters.

== Porting to other wikis ==

The module has a configuration file at [[Module:Documentation/config]] which is intended to allow easy translation and porting to other wikis. Please see the code comments in the config page for instructions. If you have any questions, or you need a feature which is not currently implemented, please leave a message at [[Template talk:Documentation]] to get the attention of a developer.
