Module:Asbox stubtree

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module is used by Module:Asbox to create stub hierarchy boxes for stub template documentations. It also implements {{asbox/stubtree}} and served the same function via {{Asbox/templatepage}} prior to being converted to Lua.
