Template:TableDraw/doc

Description

This is the {{tableDraw}} or Table draw meta-template. This template is used to create datatables populated by data gathered from pages using {{argbox}}, {{autoArgbox}}, or {{argHeader}}. The tables will automatically update based on data available to the page displayed. For example, adding a description or other additional data via an {{argbox}} or {{autoArgbox}} to a given page will cause tables showing data about that page to automatically display the new data the next time the page is viewed. It can be used to display data in one of two table formats, default and small.

Syntax

Type {{tableDraw}} somewhere, with parameters as shown below.

| pageFilter  = rootpage
