Template:Category Page/sandbox

This is a sandbox for Template:Category Page. 

Sandbox pages are used to test changes to a template before making any concrete changes.

[[:Category:|]]

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.
