{{usage|1=This template is used to provide usage directions on templates, boilerplates, message boxes, and the like. Remember to wrap it (and any line breaks) in <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki> tags! If you forget to use nowiki tags on vertical pipes ( <nowiki>|</nowiki> ), the template will still ''work'', but font following the first error will <font color="#d70921">appear in bright red, indicating a faulty template</font>. This template can accommodate up to 5 such errors, before cutting off and no longer including any more text.

'''Good''' usage notes include things like:
Links to similar templates (See [[Template:Stub]] for examples of good linking)
Instructions on how to use it properly, '''especially''' how to use a "piped" template (See [[Template:Infobox game]] for an example)
DO and DON'T instructions. (These are just as much about telling people when to use them, as it is about telling people when other templates might be more appropriate.)
Explains '''why the template is necessary'''. Justify its existence... explain to a brand new user why they should use <nowiki>[[Template:Blah]]</nowiki> instead of just linking to the island manually and directly.}}</noinclude>
