Template:Category/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Category
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

{{c |category name}}

{{c |category name |link text}}

Use {{c}} to create a namespace-free link to a category, e.g. Items rather than Category:Items, this doesn't actually add a page to a category.

{{c|Items}} produces: Items

To specify the text used for the link – e.g. "Item category" in place of "Item" – add it as the next parameter:

{{c|Items|Item category}} produces: Item category

Creates links to categories without the namespace prefix to be used in the article, does not add the page to the category.

Template parameters
