Template:Category
Template:Category is used to simplify the creation of links to categories.
Usage
It accepts one mandatory string parameter and one optional parameter:
1is the name of an article in the category namespace.2, can be arbitrary text, which will change the text presented by the link, or on eof three special options:addadds the article to the same category it is linking to.endadjusts the output, primarily for grammatical purposes.lcreturns the first parameter, but in all lower case.
Return
A normal Mediawiki category link, such as[[:Category:Admin]], returns:
With no optional parameters, it returns a link to the category page, without the namespace prepended. For instance, {{Category|Admin}} returns:
If the second parameter is an arbitrary string, such as administrative, it returns:
If the second parameter is lc, it returns:
If a second parameter is end, the return is modified: {{Category|Admin|end}} returns: Admin category
A second parameter of add cannot be demonstrated, as it does not work in the template namespace.The documentation above was transcluded from Template:Category/Documentation. [ edit ]
