Template:If administrator/doc

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

This template should not be substituted.

Usage

Example: {{If administrator|text for administrators}} will display the text "text for administrators" to administrators but will hide the text from non-administrators.

By default, <span>...</span> tags are used to wrap the specified content. |tag=div can be used if the content contains block-level elements.

It is not currently possible to display text only for non-administrators. See MediaWiki talk:Common.css/Archive 19 Interface-protected edit request on 14 February 2022.
