Usage (of this template)
[edit]- Like the general {{Documentation}} template, place
{{Barnstar documentation}}between <noinclude> tags below the barnstar template code. Be sure to place the first tag,<noinclude>(the opening tag), after the very last code of the barnstar template. If the opening tag is placed on its own line below the template code, then it will introduce undesirable whitespace below the end-product barnstar template.
