This is the {{high-use}} message box.
It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for templates used on 2000 - 100,000 pages.
For templates used on 100,000 pages or more we instead recommend using {{high-risk}} which has a stronger wording.
Note! It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.
Usage
[edit]The template can be used as is. But it can also take some parameters:
- First parameter is the number of pages. See toollabs:templatecount/ to find out how many pages use your template.
- Second parameter is the name of some other talk page if you want discussion to be made there instead. But a better option might be to redirect the talkpage of your template to that other talkpage.
Here are some examples:
{{high-use| 40,000+ | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}
| This template is used on 40,000+ pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes at Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates before implementing them. |

The full code for a /doc page top can look like this:
{{documentation subpage}}
{{high-use| 40,000+ }}

Technical details
[edit]The /sandbox and /testcases links are the standard names for such subpages. If those pages are created then the green /doc box for the template will detect them and link to them in its heading. For instance see the top of this documentation.

Template counters
[edit]- toollabs:templatecount/ – Easy to use, returns current (real time) transclusion count for a template.
- Wikipedia:Database reports/Templates transcluded on the most pages – Lists the 1000 most transcluded templates. Updated about once a month.
- Special:MostLinkedTemplates – Currently disabled for the English Wikipedia, but still runs for other Wikipedias so might be turned on again some day.
- tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/embeddedincount.py – Seems to lack human interface, probably meant for programs to call.
