Template:TableDraw/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:TableDraw.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on a very large number of pages.
To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to it should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in a single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.
