Editing Module:Find sources/doc (section)

=== Template documentation configuration page ===

This page is located at the "/autodoc" subpage of the [[#Template configuration page|template configuration page]]. It is only used to generate the documentation, not to generate any of the actual template output, so it does not need to be protected. It should look something like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
return {
	shortcuts = {'shortcut1', 'shortcut2'},
	description = 'This template is used to provide source links on [[WP:AFD|AfD]] pages',
	docIntro = 'This template produces a series of search-engine links to be used on [[WP:AFD|AfD]] pages.'
}
</syntaxhighlight>

* '''shortcuts''' - an array of shortcuts that redirect to the template page. These are displayed on the template documentation page using the {{tl|template shortcut}} template.
* '''description''' - a brief description of what the template does. This is displayed on this documentation page in the [[#Available templates|table of available templates]].
* '''docIntro''' - text to be used instead of the first sentence of the template documentation for individual source-finding templates. This is optional, and the default value is "''This template produces a series of links to various search interfaces to help find additional reference material for articles.''"
