: I note "preexisting" is a bit misleading. The page was created as a redirect in 2013 (unclear why) but apparently never used (the creation came after [[Special:Diff/582650318]] and [[Special:Diff/582650843]]), and you just now un-redirected it to make this edit request. For such a simple page as this, I can't see why anyone would usefully be changing the documentation. 🤷 [[User:Anomie|Anomie]][[User talk:Anomie|⚔]] 14:21, 19 April 2026 (UTC) |

::# [[Template:Documentation/preload]] currently mentions {{tq|The above documentation is transcluded from Template:Documentation/preload/doc. (edit {{pipe}} history)}} at the bottom, which is the misleading part I noticed. |
|||
::# I undid my [[Special:Diff/1349843522]] back to the redirect. Now I wonder why a simple [[Template:Documentation/preload]] would have a complicated and long doc [[Template:Documentation/preload/doc]]. |
|||
::# Since [[Special:Diff/1075652576]] which introduced a doc in content, the summary {{tq|documentation is centralised}} from [[Special:Diff/582650318]] was no longer true. |
|||
::# [[Template:Documentation/preload]] even has a comment {{tq|This code must be kept in sync with that at [[Wikipedia:Template documentation#How to create a documentation subpage]].}} which can be in the documentation visibly. |
|||
::# From the doc [[Template:Documentation/doc]] (and even [[Template:Documentation/preload/doc]]), a purpose of {{tl|documentation}} is that {{tq|Use of this template allows templates to be protected, where necessary, while allowing anyone to edit the documentation and categories.}} Here the preload template is protected, but its doc needs not be. |
