== Enhancing this template ==
If you would like to improve on this template, thanks!  This is a complicated template so here is some help along the way:
 
=== Fixing documentation ===
If you would like to fix documentation, please be aware that documentation and code is split into two files:
* '''[[Template:Extension/Doc]]''' - stores all documentation.
* '''[[Template:Extension]]''' - stores only the code for the template and a small amount of non-included material (category links, transcluded documentation link).
 
 
In addition, [[Template:Extension/Sample]] stores the boiler plate that is preloaded into newly created pages and contains some basic documentation on how to fill in the template parameters.  It needs to be kept in sync with [[Template:Extension/Doc]].
 
=== The Create extension button ===
To improve the create extension button behavior:
* '''[[Template:Extension/Sample]]:''' The boilerplate extension that is preloaded into newly-created pages.
* '''[[Template:Extension/CreateExtensionInputBox]]:''' An input box that can be inserted wherever you want users to easily create extensions.  For documentation on the <code><nowiki><inputbox></nowiki></code> tag, please see [[Extension:InputBox]].
* '''[[Extension:MyExtension]]:''' - Defines a placeholder, in case a user accidentally hits the create button without changing the extension name.
 
=== Infobox parameters ===
In general:
* To make this template easy to use, each label in the infobox is linked to documentation on the template parameter(s) it displays.  If you add a parameter, please be sure to also add it to the [[Template:Extension/Doc#Content parameters|content parameter documentation]] and link its label to that documentation.
 
 
To change/correct/add to the implementation type parameters:
* Check the [[Template_talk:Extension|talk page]] - there have been some extensive discussions about this field.
* '''[[Template:Extension/TypeSwitch]]:''' Stores the possible values for the type field.  Multiple values are implemented by calling this template with [[Template:Foreach]].
* '''[[Template:Extension/TypeSwitchNoCats]]:''' Used instead of [[Template:Extension/TypeSwitch]] when this template is used in <code>templatemode=nocats</code>.  Templates used with [[Template:Foreach]] can only take one parameter so we need to wrap the call to [[Template:Extension/TypeSwitch]] with another template that sets the mode.
* '''[[Template:Extension/Doc]]:''' Documentation for this template needs to be kept in sync with any changes to the implementation type taxonomy.
 
 
To change the behavior of the hook parameters:
* '''[[Template:Extension/HookInUse]]:''' Adds links and categories for a hook in use.  Multiple hooks in use are implemented by calling this template with [[Template:Foreach]].
* '''[[Template:Extension/HookInUseNoCats]]:''' Used instead of [[Template:Extension/HookInUse]] when this template is used in <code>templatemode=nocats</code>.  Templates used with [[Template:Foreach]] can only take one parameter so we need to wrap the call to [[Template:Extension/HookInUse]] with another template that sets the mode.
 
== Test case ==
See if the following pages are still ok, after edited this template.
* [[Extension:Description]]
* [[Template:Extension]]
* [[User:Ans/{{FULLPAGENAME}}#{{FULLPAGENAME}}]]
