<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Documentation header}}<br /> This template does nothing visually. Technically, it throws away its parameters and outputs the null string.<br /> <br /> It is useful for programming advanced templates, and is often used within a template to the right of an equals sign. It may also be used in a template to disambiguate parsing of braces.<br /> <br /> It can also be used to temporarily disable code. Unlike &quot;commenting out&quot; with &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;!-- --&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;, it nests. This means that &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{void|foo {{void|bar}} baz}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; is valid, whereas &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;!-- foo &lt;!-- bar --&gt; baz --&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; will produce &lt;code&gt;&lt;!-- foo &lt;!-- bar --&gt; baz --&gt;&lt;/code&gt;.<br /> <br /> It provides a particularly concise way of temporarily disabling &#039;&#039;templates&#039;&#039;, by prefixing the template name with &lt;code&gt;void|&lt;/code&gt;, making the template name becomes the (ignored) first unnamed parameter. For example, suppose you have a page {{tlx|wip}} for several days, and wish to change that to {{tlx|in use}} during active editing sessions. Rather than delete the unused template, you can leave both templates in the wikitext and change from &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{void|wip|...}}{{in use|...}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{wip|...}}{{void|in use|...}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;.<br /> <br /> A deeper no-op is &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{subst:void|foobar}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. It disappears completely upon saving.<br /> <br /> &lt;includeonly&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Template categories/interwiki here --&gt;<br /> [[Category:Technical templates]]<br /> [[zh:Template:Void]]<br /> &lt;/includeonly&gt;<br /> &lt;noinclude&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Documentation categories/interwiki here --&gt;<br /> [[zh:Template:Void/doc]]<br /> &lt;/noinclude&gt;</div>
