This is the {{script doc auto}} template.
It is used in the MediaWiki:Clearyourcache system message that is shown on top of .css, .js, .json, and .vue pages. This template is only loaded when in "User:" and "Mediawiki" namespaces. It produces the small green doc box seen on top of user .css, .js, .json, and .vue pages.
When this template is called on top of User:Davidgothberg/clock.js it produces this output:

Skin files
When this template is called on a user skin file such as "/monobook.css" it gives a link to the accompanying "/monobook.js" file. It shows that link even if the accompanying skin file does not exist, but it then uses slightly different text.
User scripts
For .css, .js, .json, and .vue pages in user space other than the skin files:
This template links to the documentation page for the script. It shows that link even if the documentation has not been created, but it then uses slightly different text. The doc pages of scripts are the page name but without the ending ".css" or ".js". For instance User:Davidgothberg/clock.js has its documentation at User:Davidgothberg/clock.
This template also detects if a .css, .js, .json, or .vue page has accompanying files with the other three extensions and then links between them. It doesn't show a link if the other file does not exist.
Gadgets
For .css, .js, .json, and .vue pages in the Mediawiki namespace:
This template links to the section of Special:Gadgets for the gadget. It also shows either the number of users of the gadget or whether it is a hidden or default gadget.
This template also detects if a .css, .js, .json, or .vue page has accompanying files with the other three extensions and then links between them. It doesn't show a link if the other file does not exist.
Usage
For testing and demonstration purposes this template can take a parameter named page. Like this:
{{script doc auto| page = User:Davidgothberg/clock.js }}
The page parameter makes this template behave exactly as if on that page.
