Template:High-risk
 | This template is used on many 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 a large number of pages
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.
- 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

The full code for a /doc page top may look like this:

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.
