Template:Supplement/doc

Usage
This template was originally intended to be a standalone "complementary" template used for essays such as Offline source. In discussing how to develop and explain policies and guidelines, many editors think that it is more practical to put material that is important, but too detailed or instructional in nature, to be put on separate pages rather than crammed into pages of official policies or guidelines.

Use this template with caution, only when there is clear consensus on the page of the relevant policy or guideline you can use this template in an essay linked from the policy or guideline.

The word "attachment" does not mean "an interpretation" nor is it simply "something added." Attachment appropriately means "something added in order to avoid " which in this case is a lack or leisure in an official policy or guideline.''' The intent of an appendix is to describe 's policies or guidelines in an informative and clear manner

If the consensus changes and the essay is no longer referenced in a policy or guideline, change this marker to a more general one, such as = or
