This is the {{documentation}} template.
This template displays a green doc box like you are seeing now, and automatically loads the content from a /doc subpage.
Usage
This template is used without any parameters, placed at the bottom of the template or page being documented, within <noinclude>:
<!--Last line of your template code--><noinclude>
{{documentation}}
<!-- Add categories to the /doc subpage, not here! -->
</noinclude>
Then this template automatically loads the content from the /doc subpage of the template it is used on.
Best practice
The code should be added at the bottom of the template code, with no space before <noinclude> (which would cause extra space on pages where the template is used).
Categories and interwiki links that apply to the template itself should be added to the bottom of the /doc subpage, inside <includeonly>...</includeonly> tags.
If the documentation page contains <includeonly> or <noinclude> tags as part of the visible documentation text, replace the "<" with "<".
Documentation pages
Documentation pages should end with the category links for both the documentation page and the template itself, in the following way:
<includeonly>[[Category:CATEGORY TO WHICH THE TEMPLATE BELONGS]]</includeonly> <noinclude>[[Category:Template documentation]]</noinclude>
