| Parameter value | As parameter name | What it does | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| - | description=description | adds a description box | - |
| subpages | subpages=base page | links to all existing subpages and sub-talkpages (collapsible) | the root[1] page name is the default (example) |
| lang links | lang links=base page | creates a box of links to translations | the base page name is the default; unlike subpages, this only lists pages matching a known language code (example)
|
| - | lang links=0 | turns off the box of links to translations, which is shown by default | |
| talk links | [inherits from lang links] | use with lang links to also list any talk pages | usually not useful, unless some exist with actual discussion and not just old translations |
| - | keyword=subpage suffix | use with lang links to add a "suffix" to the links | for special cases where the subpages follow a different naming convention[2] (example) |
| - | doc=pagename or doc=no | adds/changes/overrides a message about a documentation page | this only needs to be entered manually if the doc page is not the expected subpage.[3] (example) |
| - | mw-link=page | changes the link to MediaWiki's manual page | page refers to the full pagename, don't include the interwiki prefix ("mw:") |
| iw | - | creates links to 150+ other Wikimedia projects | see example above |
| js | - | adds a message about Commons:Javascript styleguide | replaces {{JS styleguide}} (example) |
| selectskin | - | inserts {{Selectskin}} | - |
| msg | msg=title | allows you to create a collapsed table of related system messages | uses {{Msgx}} (partial example) |
| - | m1, m2,...m6=pagename | shows the pagename as one of the "related system messages" | for use with msg |
| gadget | - | adds page to Category:Gadget scripts | These last two simply categorize the page. |
| user script | - | adds page to Category:User scripts | It's usually better to categorize this way on talk pages where categories tend to get removed or archived. |
- ↑ This means {{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1}}, not {{BASEPAGENAME}}, so sometimes this will list a lot more pages than you want. In that case, set it equal to the desired base page or use
lang links. - ↑ For example, the German (de) translation of MediaWiki:Uploadtext/ownwork is MediaWiki:Uploadtext/deownwork, so
ownworkis the keyword. If not set, it will look for something ending in "/de". - ↑ In the MediaWiki namespace, documentation pages were titled "/Documentation" (not "/doc"), and some still are, so this is what it looks for, however many now reside in the Help namespace. Language link subpages are titled "/lang" (same as templates).

This template makes use of {{Autotranslate}} and the translate extension.
This template is autotranslated a little differently than others. Only the text is switched out based on the user's interface, not the whole template. Keep in mind this is still a work in progress and new text fields may be added in the future.
