Template:Void

Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Void/doc.

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.
• It can be useful in killing part of template or page containing text and html comments (<!--- some commented stuff --->) surrounding the combined strings and multiple lines inside the template, which feeds them ... nowhere. Into the mythological bit bucket.

Alternatives

It's also possible to use {{ns:0}} instead of {{void}}.

Some magic words like __END__ might also have the desired effect of doing nothing.
