This subpage provides documentation for Template:Adapted from Wikipedia.
This message box should be used on template documentation subpages to indicate that the template was adapted from a Wikipedia template. The template will be added to Category:Wikipedia templates automatically.
Usage
{{Adapted from Wikipedia|{{subst:NAMESPACE}}:{{subst:ROOTPAGENAME}}}}
By default, it links to the template of the same name on Wikipedia, but an alternate template can be specified.
The code {{wikipedia template|Abbr}}
yields:
![](/images/thumb/d/dd/Octicons-repo-forked.svg/22px-Octicons-repo-forked.svg.png)
Adaptation is noted for reference and attribution only. This template may differ from the original in function or in usage.
If for some reason the template is on a sub-page—for example, Template:N/a—the override
parameter must be used to specify the full name of the template.
To prevent the template from being added to the Wikipedia templates category, blank the override
parameter.
