<br />
This template allows to differentiate between regular <code>Template:...</code> and <code>Template:.../sandbox</code> pages. It is typically used to ''prevent'' a /sandbox page being categorised with their main page.<br />
<br />
;Also: when numbered /sandbox1<br />
Any subpage <code>/sandbox''ANYTEXT''</code> is considered a <code>/sandbox</code>. So this includes <code>/sandbox''1''</code>, <code>/sandbox_2</code>.<br />
<br />
;Also: /doc<br />
A <code>/doc</code> subpage is also considered a <code>/sandbox</code>.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
This template can be used on template documentation pages to ensure that any given template sandbox or template documentation does not populate its main template's category(ies).<br />
<br />
This template has two unnamed parameters, {{para|1}} and {{para|2}}. Near the bottom of a /doc page where the categories are usually placed, install this template as follows:<br />
<pre><br />
{{Documentation subpage}}<br />
<!-- all /documentation code goes here --><br />
<includeonly>{{sandbox other||<br />
<!-- categories the main template should be in, but not the /sandbox: --><br />
[[Category:(first category)]]<br />
[[Category:(second category)]]<br />
<br />
}}</includeonly><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
* Usage of an empty first parameter (two pipes together, {{code|<nowiki>||</nowiki>}}, at the end of the first line of code above) essentially means {{para|1|(do nothing)}} and will not allow the sandbox page to populate the listed categories.<br />
* Note that the closing template braces ({{code|<nowiki>}}</nowiki>}}) are placed just before the &#60;/includeonly> tag. This is the same as {{para|2|(category comment and categories)}}. In "long hand" it may appear as follows:<br />
<pre><br />
<includeonly>{{sandbox other|1=<!-- keep sandbox out of categories -->|2=<br />
<!-- Categories go below this line; interwikis go to Wikidata --><br />
[[Category:(first category)]]<br />
[[Category:(second category)]]<br />
(more categories if needed)<br />
<br />
}}</includeonly><br />
</pre><br />
