What are these codes or templates I see when editing a page? <!-- This is a comment --> or {{Comment| This is a comment}}
Main page: Template:Comment
Editors and programmers leave notes for themselves or other editors in "comments" on the edit page of USApedia articles. The comments do not show up on the article. The markup for leaving comments in USApedia is either:
- <!--This is a comment-->
or
{{Comment| This is a comment}}
One difference between using {{Comment| This is a comment}} and <!--This is a comment--> markup is that {{Comment| This is a comment}} allows nesting of comments within comments, which can be handy if, in a template for instance, you are commenting out a block of wikicode that itself includes comments.
