Template:S-end/doc

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

To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template can only be edited by administrators because it is transcluded onto one or more cascade-protected pages.

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}}.
