Template:Different template
 | This template has been developed differently to the version maintained on the English Wikipedia. Parts of this wiki work differently to other wikis and this template has been adapted to suit. If you are making a major change to it, please first familiarise yourself with how it works and why it is different. The documentation page or the page's revision history may contain more information. Do not simply "update" the markup without checking how this will affect the template's local function. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly. |
Usage change
Put this at the top of templates that have been developed differently to their English Wikipedia counterparts by local editors. This is to discourage people from simply "synchronising" the template with enwiki.
It is a good idea to explain to editors how and why the template is different in its documentation, so that they can work around the issue.
