 | This template is used on a very large number of pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template 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 one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This is the {{high-risk}} message box. It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation page on the most high-use (high-risk) templates and Lua modules (the template detects the name space), i.e., for templates used on 100,000 pages or more. For templates used on 2,000–100,000 pages, it is recommended to use the {{high-use}} template instead, which has a softer wording.
Note: It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.
Usage
The template can be used as is. But it can also take some parameters:
- First parameter is the number of pages. See Wikipedia:Database reports/Templates with the most transclusions to find out how many pages use a given template.
- Second parameter is the name of some other talk page if you want discussion to be made there instead. But a better option might be to redirect the talkpage of your template to that other talkpage.
Examples
{{high-risk| 300,000+ | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}
| This template is used on 300,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template 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 one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes at Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates before implementing them. |

The full code for a /doc page top can look like this:
{{documentation subpage}}
{{high-risk| 300,000+ }}
<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->
Technical details
The /sandbox and /testcases links are the standard names for such subpages. If those pages are created then the green /doc box for the template will detect them and link to them in its heading. For instance see the top of this documentation.
