This is a documentation subpage for Template:Glossary item.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This templates produces an entry for the glossary table. It should be added on a new line in the glossary page.

Add the new term in the correct place in the glossary by alphabetical order sorted by the term name.

Leave an empty line between each entry template.

The template has three required parameters, and the optional parameters. The term, description, and date last updated are required. The three abbreviations / aliases are optional.

The template will produce a table row with the aliases in the second column separate by commas. It will also add an {{anchor}} for the term name, and each of the aliases/abbreviations as well at the top of the table row.
