Template:EFR/doc

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

This template is designed to make it easier to reply to requests for filter at WP:EF/R and help users see at a glance whether a request has been successful, needs clarification, cannot be done for technical reasons, etc. It generates a comment with a corresponding image depending on the parameter used. Only one parameter should be used with each call of the template!
