==Control template inclusion== By default, a template's content is displayed in its entirety, both when viewed directly and when included in another page. However, you can control which parts of a template will be seen and included by the use of the <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><includeonly></nowiki></code> tags. Anything between <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code> will be seen only when the template's page is being viewed directly, but not when it is included in another page. This is useful when you want to include text or code in a template that you do not want to propagate to any pages which include it, such as: * [[Help:Categories|Category]] links when categorizing the template itself * [[Help:Links#Interlanguage links|interlanguage links]] to similar templates in other languages * Explanatory text about how to use the template Likewise, anything between <code><nowiki><includeonly></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></includeonly></nowiki></code> will be processed and displayed only when the page is being included, but not when the template page is being viewed directly, and is useful in situations such as: * [[Help:Categories| Categorizing]] pages which include the template. ''Note:'' when changing the categories applied by a template in this fashion, the categorization of the pages which include that template may not be updated until some time later: this is handled by the {{mediawiki|Manual:Job queue|job queue}}. To force the re-categorization of a particular page, open that page for editing and save it without changes. * Ensuring that the template's code is not executed when viewing the template page itself. Typically this is because it expects parameters, and its execution without parameters has an undesired result. Everything outside <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><includeonly></nowiki></code> tags is processed and displayed normally; that is, both when the template page is being viewed directly and when the template is included in another page.
