[edit] Usage
- Purpose—be an efficient typing saver
- ... thereby maximizing the editing time of wiki contributing editors creating new pages and facilitating correct and easier categorization.
- How: This template takes up to 16 category names and pipesorts them according to the name or string given as the first argument (parameter).
Thus it generates a string of [[Category:{{{2}}}|{{{1}}}]] [[Category:{{{3}}}|{{{1}}}]]... [[Category:{{{16|{{{1}}}]] declarations, that is very useful inside template or category space.
- It is particularly useful inside redirects and article stubs -- both being relational and derivative of some related page (see the below), but both also sharing perhaps an uncertainty about final categorization. Being easy to apply and change, it thus facilitates tentative categorization allowing greater exposure / better documentation of the short page.
-
- Duplication of another page's category requires merely navigation to the page, swiping the category strings off the page category lists, and returning to paste them into this template.
- The swiped category names will already be separated by pipe characters, leaving little to do, save close the curly braces, and choose a first perameter (normally the Magic word: {{PAGENAME}} is best—be careful not to enclose any leading spaces!)
- If only one argument is given, the template treats that as a category name, and automatically pipetricks the inclusion to {{PAGENAME}}.
- CAUTION
- no newlines are permitted else the page links will be broken.
[edit] See also
- {{Cat also}} is used for small sets of see also (list of other categories) for information in the end of text on category pages or talk pages, etc.

, to use when you have more than one main article.
- e.g. - {{main|A|B|C}} -->
, to use when you have more than one main article, primarily for use in category text, not Wikipedia English language Wikipedia Naming conventions compliant inside articles.
-- e.g. - {{mainBold|A|B|C}} -->
{{See}} (deprecated - use {{Further}})
-- e.g. - {{See|A|B|C}} -->
— Article version of this template (Has technical problem with specifying ':Category' spelt out, and this is far more convenient, as you need never spell it out at all!
