Parameters and examples
The template may be used without any parameters.
With no parameters
The following, however, may be used to make the template more informative:
onright
- Use onright (or rhs) to place right-aligned boxes beside the template such as {Portal} (to provide link/s to related portal/s), {Commons category} (to provide a link to the same or a similarly-named Commons category), etc. If more than one box is included, ensure the widest one appears first (see example below) otherwise overlapping may occur.
topic, onright
{Template category
| topic = the [[United States]]
| onright = {Commons category|United States|the United States}{Portal|United States}
}
ਵਿਕੀਮੀਡੀਆ ਕਾਮਨਜ਼ ਉੱਤੇ the United States ਨਾਲ ਸਬੰਧਤ ਮੀਡੀਆ ਹੈ।
type
- Setting type to one of the following values adds a preset note as to which type of template the category (but not necessarily its subcategories) is meant to contain. The values are:
- ambox
- campaignbox
- (category header
- category heading
- catheader
- cat header
- cathead)
- conversion
- external link
- formatting
- function
- infobox
message- meta
- module
- (navigation
- navigational
- navbox)
- sidebar
- stub
- sub
- timeline
- (user
- userbox)
- If type is set to something other than one of these values, the default "The pages listed in this category are templates" note appears unmodified.
type alone
{Template category |type=sidebar}
container
- Set container as true, yes, etc. to identify the category as a container category, i.e. a category meant to contain only subcategories. A note requesting that no templates are added to the template category is then included. The category is automatically added to Category:Container categories.
container alone
{Template category |container=true}
- An alternative to using container is to place {Container category} after the {Template category} template:
{Container category} following {Template category}
{Template category
| type = ''type''
| topic = ''[[topic]]''
| description = This text supplied by the ''description'' parameter.
}
{Container category}
topic
- Use topic to add a default description ending "...relating to topic", where topic is usually a wikilink to the main article associated with the category (e.g. United States for the Category:United States templates).
topic alone
{Template category |topic=the [[United States]]}
type, topic
{Template category |type=infobox |topic=the [[United States]]}
description
- Use description if a customised description is needed instead of – or, if topic also used, to follow – the default description above.
type, topic, description
{Template category
| type = navbox
| topic = [[China]]
| description = <br />{small|For templates relating specifically to the [[People's Republic of China|People's Republic of China (PRC)]] or the current [[Taiwan|Republic of China (ROC, "Taiwan")]], see, respectively, {c|People's Republic of China templates} and {c|Taiwan templates}.}
}
description alone
{Template category |description=This text is supplied by the ''description'' parameter.}
help
- Use help to replace the instructions on adding a template to the category (second paragraph of the "Further template category notes" section):
replace help text
{Template category |help=This text supplied by the ''help'' parameter.}
- To omit the default instructions, set help to no:
omit help text
{Template category |help=no}
Tracking category
Uses with a topic or description parameter are tracked:
- Category:Template:Template category with no topic or description (19)
