Documentation

This template is designed to efficiently help create templates. This template usually is not independent, but dependent on being placed inside another template. Though this template can be used on an image, it is highly recommended that you use the sub templates. However, this template does not provide categorization of images. That is still done on the image tags. (View Examples) This template does not exclude you from documenting the templates as well. Each template should be well documented. This documentation will show you these things.
