This template does nothing.

More exactly, it outputs the null string. It's useful for programming advanced templates.

It often is used within a template to the right of an equals sign.
It can be useful in killing part of template or page containing text and html comments () surrounding the combined strings and multiple lines inside the template, which feeds them ... nowhere. Into the mythological bit bucket.

Alternatives

It's also possible to use {{ns:0}} instead of {{void}}.

Some magic words like __END__ might also have the desired effect of doing nothing.
