Template:S-end/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:S-end.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original Template page.

This template is used on approximately 240,006 pages.

To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit.

Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

This template duplicates {{End }} for technical reasons. See the documentation on that page.

To avoid causing lint errors and potential issues with page display, always finalize a sequence of succession box templates with this template (except when ending with {{S-ref }}, which already incorporates it).

Why this template exists

The various succession box templates are considered navigational content and thus are excluded from print in the PDFs and printed books. However, {{End }} can be used to end any table, thus that template cannot be excluded from print. However, {{S-end }} can be excluded without any negative repercussions. Similar templates that are unambiguously the end of tables which should be excluded in print should redirect here, rather than to {{End }}.

If you see any succession template ending with {{End }}, please change it to {{S-end }}.
