Banner for templates that rely on Lua modules
The template automatically sets the following categories:
- Category:Lua templates with errors, added if the module call contains errors.
- Category:Lua-candidates, added if no module is listed.
- Category:Lua-based templates, added if none of the below module_categories matches the first module listed.
Module categories: one of these categories is added if the first listed module is the listed module
- Category:Lua String-based templates (Module:String)
- Category:Lua-based iteration templates (Module:Iteration)
Usage

Template parameters
- TemplateData
TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.
Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either useTemplateData=1 or useTemplateData=only on the /doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. <nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.
Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw <templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
