Template:TOC side
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
This template displays a floating table of contents at the place it’s used. It’s similar to {{TOC right}} and {{TOC left}}, but it contains the floating side in a parameter rather than in the template name, and works on pages translated using the Translate extension into right-to-left languages as probably intended, that is, it floats to the opposite side than the one specified in parameter. This means that if the parameter is for example “right”, it will float to the “far end” of the page: to the right on pages with left-to-right script and to the left on pages with right-to-left script. Thus it’s mainly useful on pages using the Translate extension, but nothing stops one from using it on any other page.
Usage
{{TOC side |1= }}
Template parameters
- TemplateData
TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.
Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either useTemplateData=1 or useTemplateData=only on the /doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. <nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.
Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw <templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
