Template:End/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:End (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 116,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

This template ends any table (with bar-brace "|}") and may be used with any other templates that begin a one-level table, except with template {{Collapse top}} which requires a {{collapse bottom}} to end a collapsible text.

This template duplicates {{s-end}} for technical reasons. See the documentation on that page. Any succession template ending with {{end}} should be changed to {{s-end}}.

Position

WARNING: Template {{end}} must be placed on a separate line for ending a table; otherwise, it inserts a literal bar-brace "|}" into the text.

Redirects

Other "table end" templates redirect here.

Alternatively, this template may take the dummy parameter 1=, such as {{End|Cricket series}}, to indicate which table start template it matches (in the example given, {{Election table}}). The parameter has no technical function.
