Template:UKB points/doc

This template is not used on the English Wikipedia, but it has been kept as a convenience for the operation of a bot on other Wikipedias.

{{UKB points}} is used to define a rule for how points should be awarded in a contest checked by User:UKBot. In addition to being readable for the bot, the template also produces a human readable form of the points rule.

Each contest must have at least one {{UKB points}} template, but can have multiple.
