Template:Talk page watcher/doc

Usage

• {{tpw}} produces: (talk page watcher)
• {{tpw|b}} produces: (by talk page watcher)
• {{tpw|c}} produces: (Talk page watcher)
• {{tpw|a}} produces: (TPW)
• {{tpw|v}} produces: (watching)
• {{tpw|alc}} produces: (tpw)

Similarly, with the small=no parameter, all of the other options will work, but without small text. For example:

• {{tpw|small=no}} produces: (talk page watcher)
• {{tpw|a|small=no}} produces: (TPW), and
• {{tpw|b|small=no}} produces: (by talk page watcher)

With the safe=yes parameter, the link is changed to the watchlist help page. For example:

• {{tpw|safe=yes}} produces: (talk page watcher)
• {{tpw|safe=yes|v}} produces: (watching)
• {{tpw|safe=yes|b|small=no}} produces: (by talk page watcher)
