Template:Seasonal Greetings/doc

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

This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Seasonal Greetings}}).

Usage

This template is one of a series of holiday season greetings that can be shared of talk pages of other editors. It automatically places the recipient's name in the salutation and your signature at the end of the message.

Wikipedia is a global community and not all editors celebrate Christmas (or experience the winter solstice in December), so if you are unsure of an editor's preference, please consider using one of the more inclusive options. The {{Not Christmas celebrator}} editnotice can be used to indicate a greeting preference.

Template parameters
