Only use {{Style formatting license template/doc}} in license tags. Do not use in non-license tag templates or other pages to apply table style formatting. It is used to track images with different types of licenses and using it for other purposes will disrupt that system.

Table style formatting template meant to provide uniform styles to different families of license templates. Those templates are also used for tracking images with different types of licenses so it is important not to use them for other purposes. Many of the templates add {{License template tag}} to children templates.

Usage

Meant to be used only inside of other license or information templates

Template parameters

Parameter text is empty

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
