Template:Void/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Void.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template does nothing.
More exactly, it outputs the null string. It's useful for programming advanced templates.

It often is used within a template to the right of an equals sign.

Alternatives[change source]

It's also possible to use {{ns:0}} instead of {{void}}. Attackers could manipulate {{void}} but not {{ ns:0 }}, the empty/void/null string for the main namespace. Some magic words like __END__ might also have the desired effect of doing nothing.
