The following, however, may be used to make the template more informative:

onright

topic, onright
{{Template category
| topic = the [[United States]]
| onright = {{Commons category|United States|the United States}}{{Portal|United States}}
}}

  • (category header
  • category heading
  • catheader
  • cat header
  • cathead)
  • conversion
  • external link
  • formatting
  • function
  • infobox
  • message
  • meta
  • module
  • (navigation
  • navigational
  • navbox)
  • sidebar
  • stub
  • sub
  • timeline
  • (user
  • userbox)

| type = ''type''
| topic = ''[[topic]]''
| description = This text supplied by the ''description'' parameter.
}}
