===Hatnote=== | |||
If a brief hatnote is needed, then it can be added to the top of the documentation page by including the {{para|hatnote}} parameter with any of the existing hatnote templates. Example: | |||
: {{para|hatnote|<nowiki>{{Hatnote|This template contains data that applies to the [[Republic of Ireland|sovereign state]]. For the [[Ireland|entire island]], see [[Template:Country data Ireland]].}}</nowiki>}} | |||
results in: | |||
{{Hatnote|This template contains data that applies to the [[Republic of Ireland|sovereign state]]. For the [[Ireland|entire island]], see [[Template:Country data Ireland]].}} | |||

This "extra" documentation page can usually be edited even if the country data template is edit-protected. | |||
