This does not work if\r\n\r\n- the function accepts data but does not use the decorator, because the resolution is deferrd; e.g. in `semilogx`\r\n- or if the docstring is added to the function afterwards, e.g. in `quiver`\r\n\r\n\n\n### Suggested improvement\n\nReformatting the docstring should be extracted into an isolated function(s)\r\n\r\n```\r\n@fill_data_parameter_placeholder\r\ndef semilogx():\r\n```\r\n\r\nand\r\n```\r\ndef quiver():\r\n    ....\r\nquiver.__doc__ = fill_data_parameter_placeholder(QUIVER_DOC)\r\n```\n\n### Matplotlib Version\n\n3.5.x\n\n### Matplotlib documentation version\n\n3.5.x","author":{"url":"https://github.com/timhoffm","@type":"Person","name":"timhoffm"},"datePublished":"2021-09-19T21:56:12.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/21135/matplotlib/issues/21135"}
